[maemo-developers] gdb does not display source code

[From: Sachin Kundu]

Hi

 

While trying to debug on n800 using gdb, I am not able to see source code
when the breakpoint is hit. I have the complete source tree loaded on the
memory card. Folder structure is something like

                                

-----------------------------------------Source_folder----------------------
-------

|                              |              |
|                              |

Folder1            Folder2     Folder3
Folder4                 debug

(source)          (source)...
|

 
Collection of .so and a executable

 

This source was compiled on the scratchbox under the ARM target and then
copied on the device for using the  gdb on device. Now when executable is
run under gdb and a bp is hit, no source code corresponding to the bp is
displayed. It shows something like "in  example_file.cpp" and the line
number.

 

I was assuming that the path to source would be coded relative to
executable, however this is clearly not happening. 

 

I have also tried making similar folder structure on the device like on
scratchbox, just in case they are absolute, but no respite.

 

Why does gdb not show source code? I know source directory can be specified
under gdb, but I am having completely built source tree already, in same
folder structure. Isn't that all that's needed to be done?

 

Thanks
