Difference between Insight on Linux and Insight on PC?

Difference between Insight on Linux and Insight on PC?

[Geert Vancompernolle]

Hi,

I've been able to compile Insight for PC (next to Insight for Linux, 
which I'm using already for over a year).  I'm also able to connect to 
my target, but what I'm missing, is the high level language.

I only see assembler instructions.

I'm using the same executable to debug on Insight for PC, as the one I'm 
using on Insight for Linux.  And on Linux, everything is just fine.

My compilation happens on Linux and the location is mapped using Samba, 
on a Windows drive letter.  On Linux, the sources are located in 
/home/geertvc/data/homeautomation.  On Windows, /home/geertvc is 
substituted on the Z: drive letter.

So, I think the debug information will contain the path to my Linux 
location (being /home/...), while Insight for PC is looking via the 
mapped file (Z: in my case).

If the above is indeed correct, does there exist a kind of "alias", to 
replace /home/geertvc with Z:/???

I think that would solve my problem...

Anyone any idea?

Found this one myself... ;-)

To solve my problem, I have to execute the command "set substitute-path 
/home/geertvc z:/" in the command window (maybe I can do this 
automatically each time I start Insight???).

Once this is done, all references to "/home/geertvc" will be "detoured" 
to "Z:/", exactly what I want.

  Yes, set it in ~/.gdbinit - see also "2.1.3 What GDB Does During Startup" in
the gdb info page.
