Hi, all
Since gdb harcodes its share directory, but I usually move the gdb
to other directory.
I found that in gdb command:
set data-directory e:\mypack\mingw\share\gdb
I can set gdb's share directory, but I type
python print gdb.PYTHONDIR
and found that the python pretty-printer directory not changed.
Is there some methods to change the gdb python pretty-printer
directory to e:\mypack\mingw\share\gdb\python?
Thanks.

gdb.PYTHONDIR is set at start-up to the current data-directory + the
Python relevant paths. I think it is a bug that "set data-directory"
does not alter gdb.PYTHONDIR.

You can run configure with the --prefix="your/path", or if you wished
you could set gdb.PYTHONDIR directly with python gdb.PYTHONDIR="blah"
I can't think if case where you want to do this outside of the build
parameter passed to configure, as that is where the Python files will be
installed. Is the --prefix command what you need, or is there another
scenario you have in mind?
Cheers,
Phil

Thank you.
I means after I built a gdb, if I copy it to my friend, his directory
may be different from mine.

It should work ok as long as the install tree has the same shape.
There is some relocation-handling code in startup that deals with this.
Maybe this isn't working properly somehow?

I don't think so.
As I type "python print gdb.PYTHONDIR" in gdb command, it will output:
c:\mingw\share\gdb/python
But my gdb python pretty printer directory is
"e:\mypack\mingw\share\gdb\python".
Is this a windows specific problem?

I don't know. I think you will probably have to debug it if you want an
answer.
