TIP: Debugging with PB under OS X

by Joel Miller · in Technical Issues · 09/18/2002 (1:49 am) · 1 replies

Don't use ellipsis characters or single quotes in folder names along the path to your project. They confuse and confound Project Builder (as of v2.0.1 anyway) and gdb to the point that gdb will claim there's no executeable, and PB will not display stack traces, variables, or source files in the debugger window.

(I posted this tip earlier in the private sdk forums, but this is probably be a better place for it until we have a forum specifically for OS X related issues, like we have for Linux)

Add to that that IN GENERAL, don't use weird characters in any major filenames anywhere! ;)

Spaces, dashes, underscores, all seem generally pretty happy. But you start using other symbols and who knows what you'll run up against on which platform.
