Sandglass breakpoints, not load shared library symbols depends on *.so loading

[p535]

Good day!
I build shared library config.so, which starts from some executable by two ways (depends on where it placed, two near folder):

1. directly dlopen... from exec;
2. through second library.
   My library is the same.

When I starts debugging with case 2, breakpoints have sandglasses and the output contains:

Could not load shared library symbols for config/config.so.
Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?

Has anyone dealt with something like this?

@p535 said in Sandglass breakpoints, not load shared library symbols depends on *.so loading:

solib-search-path

No, but why don't you just Google this and set it to point to the necessary directory? E.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44896217/how-to-save-set-solib-search-path shows its usage and how to save for future?

@JonB thank you!
When I place .gdbinit with "set solib-search-path /dir-with-so/" in home directory, the breakpoints began to work.
*seems like not a proper way?

@p535
Good. Don't know what you mean by "seems like not a proper way". If you have to tell gdb where they are so it knows, that seems OK.
