--- Comment #7 from devel.origin at gmail dot com --- For that demo the debug files are ending up in a custom directory (the build-id-demo/.build-id/) for the packge builder to pick up. So they can't be found by GDB. When packages are installed the debug info is naturally in /usr/lib/debug. To make the GDB work when launching a developer build from the build directory the build script puts a copy of debug info of all libraries into one .build-id/ on the top level of the build directory (I haven't added this part to the testcase project). In .gdbinit there is an option to look in current dir: "set debug-file-directory /usr/lib/debug:.", so GDB finds debug files if the current dir has a .build-id/ subdir. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
