Setting breakpoint in src file located in different directory

[Joakim Hove <hove@ift.uib.no>]

Hello,

I am running/debugging an executable in the path ~/RunPath

The executable in question is built from sources located in many
different directories. I (try) to set the breakpoints with the
~/.gdbinit file:

   break /home/fimm/cmu/hove/libdos/src/ehist.c:694
   break /home/fimm/cmu/hove/Cluster/Apps/src/Potts/Potts.c:396

This should in my opinion the breakpoints in the two files
listed. However when invoking gdb, I only get the message:

   No source file named /home/fimm/cmu/hove/libdos/src/ehist.c.
   No source file named /home/fimm/cmu/hove/Cluster/Apps/src/Potts/Potts.c.

I have also tried splitting it in two with:

   directory /home/fimm/cmu/hove/libdos/src/
   break ehist.c:694
   directory /home/fimm/cmu/hove/Cluster/Apps/src/Potts/
   break Potts.c:396

That succeeds for the file Potts.c (which is located in the directory
as the executable, i.e. the the executable is not located in the path
where gdb is invoked, gdb is invoked as:

    %bash gdb ../exe

However the other file (ehist.c) still failed with the "No source file
named ..." message.

Any tips on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Joakim
