compiler problem

["Fred J." <phddas@yahoo.com>]

Hello

I asked this question in other mailing lists, emacs,
gnu gdb, gnu make, and it may well be a compiler
problem. 
my compiler is gcc 3.3.5-3, the debian testing
package.

I read that "Executable programs sometimes do not
record the directories of the source files from which
they were compiled, just the names.

I have this arrangement

sam@debian:~/Exercies/ThinkingInC++/Vol1/C03$ tree
.
|-- makefile
|-- 13
|   |-- #rotation.cpp#
|   |-- bitwise.cpp
|   |-- makefile
|   |-- printBinary.cpp
|   |-- printBinary.h
|   |-- proj1
|   |-- rotation.cpp
|   `-- semantic.cache
|-- 14
|   |-- #makefile#
|   |-- main.cpp
|   |-- makefile
|   |-- proj1
|   |-- semantic.cache
|   `-- semantic.cache~

../14/makefile looks like this
**************************************************
include ../makefile

in the parent directory I have this makefile
**************************************************
OBJS = main.o
CFLAGS= -g -Wall
proj1 : $(OBJS)
	$(CXX) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $(OBJS)		#CC -o proj1 $(OBJS)
the macro @ evaluates to the current target.

clean : 
	rm -f $(OBJS)

I did 
sam@debian:~/Exercies/ThinkingInC++/Vol1/C03/13$ make
which went ok.

how can I know if the executable programs did or did
not record the directories of the source files from
which it was compiled. and if it did what are they?

the reason I am asking is because when I 
Run gdb (like this): gdb
~/Exercies/ThinkingInC++/Vol1/C03/13/proj1 

I get
Current directory is

(gdb) break bitwise.cpp : 11
No source file named bitwise.cpp.  <-----this problem
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load?
(y or [n]) 
(gdb) show directories 
Source directories searched: $cdir:$cwd
(gdb)

and while we are at it, how to fix this, because
(gdb) dir /home/sam/Exercies/ThinkingInC++/Vol1/C03/13

Source directories searched:
/home/sam/Exercies/ThinkingInC++/Vol1/C03/13:$cdir:$cwd
(gdb) show directories 
Source directories searched:
/home/sam/Exercies/ThinkingInC++/Vol1/C03/13:$cdir:$cwd
(gdb) break bitwise.cpp : 11
No source file named bitwise.cpp.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load?
(y or [n]) 

thanks
