[Geany-Users] set working directory for debug

[Drake, Johnathan]

It appears from the debugger plugin source that it gets the path from the target to be used as the working directory (dbm_gdb.c:721).  The commandline arguments that can be input in the debugger plugin appear to be used as only inputs to the target application so adding the --cd option doesn't do anything for me.

Thanks for the reply Matthew.  the command line arguments appear to be arguments for my target application so I wasn't able to change directories via that method.  However, when I press the run button, i get several messages showing in the terminal window where I launched Geany.  Those messages are:




You separate gdb arguments from application arguments using the --args argument.

E.g. gdb <gdb_arguments> --args <program_arguments> <program>
