Description Jon Smirl 2003-08-18 00:17:09 UTC 
Version:           CVS (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs

This used to work last week so something has changed...

In Project Options/Run Options
Select () run from Build directory.
Now browse for a main program.
In my case the main program is located at
../../../../../progs/miniglx/sample_server
I select this an nothing display. If I start the debugger I get a path not found.

So I enter ../../../../../progs/miniglx/sample_server manually.
This works but nothing is displayed in Main Program.

Now in the debugger I am trying to set breakpoints.
miniglx.c is located at /home/newtree/temp/src/miniglx/miniglx.c

Now I start my program and the breakpoints are not being set with the correct filepath.
miniglx.c is at ../../../../miniglx/miniglx.c not miniglx.c
 gdb /home/newtree/temp/src/mesa/drivers/dri/r128/../../../../../progs/miniglx/sample_server -fullname -nx -quiet

Comment 1 Jon Smirl 2003-08-18 00:49:48 UTC 
I noticed in the Application window this: 
/home/newtree/temp/progs/miniglx/sample_server: relocation error:
/home/newtree/temp/progs/miniglx/sample_server: undefined symbol
__miniglx_Start_Server

But when I run sample_sever from the command line it works without problem.

I think I am starting to get a handle on what the problem is. I need to change
to run it from where the executable is located. The program is linked using a
relative path to the shared objects.  -Wl,-rpath,$(TOP)/lib

I tried this and it work.

Leave the bug open since the path is still not being displayed in Project
Options/Run Options/Main Program

> "The path is still not being displayed in Project Options/Run Options/Main 
Program 
 
This is most probably because your path is outside of the build directory 
tree. 
Try do do a soft-link in your build directory pointing to the location you 
want. Give that as input to the Options/Main Program and it should work and 
display fine. 
The problem is related with the "relativePath()" function on lib/urlUtil this 
sugestion is a way to bypass the problem
Comment 3 Thiago Macieira 2003-10-17 04:25:10 UTC 
As Amilcar said, the problem is your installation, since you're getting Relocation errors. It is not a KDevelop bug or even a compilation error.
