Thanks, doko, for taking the time to respond. Please feel free to close this bug or tag wontfix if you want so. The more I think about this, the more this wishlist decreases in priority and I certainly don't want to take up any of your time with it! also sprach Matthias Klose <doko@cs.tu-berlin.de> [2005.08.18.0817 +0200]: > no, but you can be expected to put the directories into your gdbinit > file, either in your home, or in your project directory. > > $ find /usr/include/c++/4.0/ \ > \( -name x86_64-linux-gnu -prune \) -o -type d -printf "dir %p\n" \ > >> .gdbinit Yes, I know about this, but I kinda still would like it to be different, simply because I am Debian-spoiled. I see two ways out of this: (a) compile the debug library with the full paths to the headers. The argument that the location could have changed does not really hold for Debian, does it? (b) Add some sort of /etc/gdbinit.rc functionality to gdb (shouldn't be that hard, I think) and distribute this file with the proper directory entries in the package. Come to think of it, it would need to be /etc/gdbinit.d :) (a) might be easiest. I am just wondering why e.g. libcwd's -dbg package works out of the box with gdb. I did not do anything special other than to tell dh_strip to put the debug libraries into their own package... -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer and author: http://debiansystem.info `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP (sub)keys?
