Description Jerry Quinn

2010-05-24 11:16:56 EDT

Build Identifier: 20100218-1602

Centos5.4 x86_64, gdb 6.8-37.el5
CDT
Version: 6.0.2.201002161416
Build id: 201002161416

I'm adding the path to my shared libs under the
Debug Configurations->Debugger->Shared Libraries
tab.

However, the app starts up and can't find its libs.  If I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
under Debug Configurations->Debugger->Environment, then it works.


Reproducible: Always

Debug paths are only for debugger to find symbols for shared libraries.
You still have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH on unix or whatever on windows to launch it.

There is no documentation that this is the case.  Should I reopen this bug or create another?

Yes you can re-open this one for documentation

Please document the meaning of Debug Configurations->Debugger->Shared Libraries
to indicate that this sets shared libs for gdb, not for the program being debugged.
