Description Tanya Wolff CLA 2004-07-15 15:31:19 EDT 
Create a new debug/run configuration. In the Debugger tab, select the shared 
libraries options. Add a path. Click Apply then Close. Reopen the 
configuration. The path added is gone.

The "Shared Libraries" path has no meaning for the local debugging on Windows. 
I have removed that tab from the launch dialog for the CygWin debugger.
Can you please check if the same problem occures on Linux?
Comment 2 Doug Schaefer CLA 2004-07-15 19:10:44 EDT 
No? I'm having a hard time understanding how I'm supposed to debug an 
application made up of multiple DLLs all in their own project. I was hoping 
that the shared library path would automatically add these directories to my 
path at launch time so that they can be found. Does this sound reasonable or am 
I misunderstanding what the shared library path is for.
Comment 3 Nobody - feel free to take it CLA 2004-07-15 19:46:15 EDT 
Good point. My fault - a typical example of the gdb-centric thinking. But if we 
want to use "CygWinCommandFactory" we need an "empty" command. "set solib-
search-path" returns an error on Windows. 
I'll put it back as soon as you submit a patch :)
Comment 4 Robert Greig CLA 2004-07-27 11:29:09 EDT 
Is this not higher priority and severity than P3/normal?

I am using linux/gdb and the shared library path always loses its values.
Therefore I am unable to debug my application inside the IDE since it can never
find shared libraries.

Or am I missing something?
