- This is a symptom that comes from the mild brain deficiency of swapping
- between forward and back slash for pathnames.
-
- I found that removing the debug switch from the cc cmd line (in the make.ini
- supplied by Kai Uwe-Rommel for dmake & emx gcc) eliminated the problem.
-
- Remove this, and the (erroneous) debugging source file info won't be
- generated. That's not a problem anyway, since gdb has not been ported
- for this compiler! This bug was probably not found since gdb ain't
- there.
-
- If you need gdb, suffer the pain :-), and use emx gcc for os/2 2.0.
- (The pain is using a non-native program loader, name=?run?
- e.g. "c:\> run myprog", although you can bind the loader into
- a final executable.)
