Missing source files when setting breakpoints for debugging

[tom.harvey]

Hello,

I’m currently working with a project that builds successfully on a linux remote machine, but I am having issues with debugging.
The program runs as expected and i have the program outputted to an xlaunch window, but it is only finding a small fraction of the source code files for debugging.
In the GDB session window i get this in the output when setting a break point for one of the source code files:

-break-insert -f /home/buildmaster/workspace/eclipse_src/core/RemoteControl.cpp:111
&"No source file named /home/buildmaster/workspace/eclipse_src/core/RemoteControl.cpp.\n"
^done,bkpt={number="7",type="breakpoint",disp="keep",enabled="y",addr="<PENDING>",pending="/home/buildmaster/workspace/eclipse_src/core/RemoteControl.cpp:111",times="0",original-location="/home/buildmaster/workspace/eclipse_src/core/RemoteControl.cpp:111"}
-break-after 7 0
OK

The code definitely exists in that location and it has no problem building it, but I can successfully set a break point in another file and i get this output:

-break-insert -f /home/buildmaster/workspace/project/freetype/linux/derived.output.release/freetype-2.9.1/builds/unix/ftsystem.c:306
^done,bkpt={number="13",type="breakpoint",disp="keep",enabled="y",addr="0x00007ffff60ff558",func="FT_Stream_Open",file="builds/unix/ftsystem.c",fullname="/home/buildmaster/workspace/project/freetype/linux/derived.output.release/freetype-2.9.1/builds/unix/ftsystem.c",line="306",thread-groups=["i1"],times="0",original-location="/home/buildmaster/workspace/project/freetype/linux/derived.output.release/freetype-2.9.1/builds/unix/ftsystem.c:306"}
-break-after 13 0
OK
info symbol 0x7ffff60ff558
&"info symbol 0x7ffff60ff558\n"
FT_Stream_Open + 344 in section .text of /home/buildmaster/workspace/project/freetype/output/linux/lib/libfreetype.so.6
OK
info line *0x7ffff60ff558
&"info line *0x7ffff60ff558\n"
Line 310 of "builds/unix/ftsystem.c" starts at address 0x7ffff60ff558 <FT_Stream_Open+344> and ends at 0x7ffff60ff55c <FT_Stream_Open+348>.
OK

In “Show list of all source files” it says that “The following source files are listed in the currently laoded symbol files”. Is there any reason it only is showing a few of the source files here?
Is there a way I can manually add the paths, or try a re-scan or something like that?

Thank you,

Tom

Hello,

Thank you for the quick response, but it was to with my own build system instead.
