Problems with gdb and program files in another directory than current working directory

Problems with gdb and program files in another directory than current working directory

[Geralt]

Hi,

when running gdb on a program in a subdirectory (like gdb -mi
debug/myprogram) and the source files sitting in the current working I
get always the following output, after setting a breakpoint:
Breakpoint 1 at 0x8048c87: file foobar.c, line 52.
(gdb) No source file named .
 <--------- point is now here

Is there a way to solve this? When running gdb in a terminal I don't
have this problem.





Geralt.

I'm working on the code in gdb-mi.el:

I've tracked down the bug which causes your problem.
Here's the patch:

It fixes the problem for me. This will be in the trunk soon.

Thank you for you report. Please, use M-x report-emacs-bug next time.
