VisualGDB-Debugger: Custom Working-Directory

[Elram Ashush]

Hi,

I have a problem with the debugger:

I want to define to the debugger a different path to execute the my application.

In  the “Debug Settings” I defined 3 fields different from the default:

1.  Debug mode: New Instance
2. Debugged executable: I put there an absolute path that is different from the $(OutDir) path, that I defined in the VS-Project-Properties.
3. Custom Working Directory: I put the same path as in “Debugged executable” (of course, without the name of the executable-file)

When I debug, I get Error: that it can find the executable-file, and that it searching the file in the $(OutDir) path,

I’ll comment that the executable-file really don’t exist in the $(OutDir), but why the debugger search there, instead of searching in my custom path  (that I put in “Debugged executable”)

Thanks’

Elram.
