To specify the location of C source files
• Before you start the debugger, set the HP64_DEBUG_PATH environment
variable.
The location of C source files can be defined to the debugger with the UNIX
shell variable HP64_DEBUG_PATH. If HP64_DEBUG_PATH is defined, the
debugger first searches for the files in the path(s) specified in the variable, in
the order in which they are listed.
In addition to path names, you can place a percent sign (% ) character in the
HP64_DEBUG_PATH definition. The percent sign forces the debugger to
search for files in their compile-time locations. (Compile-time paths are
stored in the absolute file.) The search of these paths occurs at the point that
the percent sign is found in the variable. For example, if the percent sign is
first in the variable before any paths, the debugger will search for the file in the
location recorded for it in the absolute file before checking the other locations
specified by the HP64_DEBUG_PATH variable.
If HP64_DEBUG_PATH is not defined, or HP64_DEBUG_PATH is defined,
but the files were not found in the paths listed there, the debugger searches for
source files in the following sequence:
