Very Computer

Hello,
i creates a program and compile it using the
xlC -o ./../hello  -g hello.cpp

when i tryed to debug it i went into the directory where hello is
created and
type:
ddd hello
but the ddd could not open my source file , i try to used with open
source with no success .
do i miss somthing ,
should i set any flags to the ddd or in the enviroment ?

thanks
Yaniv

Hello!

I am just using "ddd" on Tru64, and I got it working as soon as
I had the sources and the generated program in the same directory.
This is also the run directory when using the program.

Another requirement seems to be that the program is built using the
"-g" compiler switch, without it I also could _not_ open any source.

HTH,

You can:

1) Use full path to name source files when compiling , so that ddd (in
fact the underlying de* - in your case must be dbx) can find its
way to the source files.
(I don't remeber if there is an option in to force xlC to use full
pathnames automatically.)

2) At ddd prompt (which is in fact dbx prompt), use "use" command to set
search directory for source files (See syntax below)
(dbx) help use
use
use <directory-list>
        Set the list of directories to be searched when looking
        for source files. If no argument is specified, the current
        list if directories to be searched is displayed.

3) If compiling the way you did, put source file in the executable
directory (which is not a very nice solution...)

And remember you always have the de* online help at ddd prompt
(just type "help")...
