How do I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the debugged application?

[BitFlipper]

Sorry, I’m asking a lot of questions here…

The application being debugged needs to have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to a specific value. I don’t want to set the global environment variable, just the application being debugged. Previously when I did not debug the application – just ran it, I ran a bash script that called “export” with the value for LD_LIBRARY_PATH. However, now that I’m debugging it, I’m not sure how to specify it.

I tried to run the command “export” as a separate step before debugging, however it seems it doesn’t work because it is run as a separate process and hence the debugged application doesn’t see it. How do I set the environment variables for the debugged application?

Thanks in advance for any help

OK figured it out. I needed to add it to the environment variables listed under the GDB Customize settings.

Hi,

Where exactly did you do this in VisualGDB? User-Variables?

Simply putting in LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the path (ie /usr/lib)?

Thanks Blitz

Hi,

Please open VisualGDB Project Properties window, go to the Debug Settings page, select “use custom GDB executable”, click “Customize” and update the “Additional Environment Variables” line.
