Adding dependencies to coredump (GDB)

Let’s assume you have a coredump to analyze, and the shared libs are at another location.


Command Description
info sharedlibrary Shows the names and paths of the loaded shared libraries.
set solib-absolute-prefix
set sysroot
Sets a prefix/sysroot to search for shared libraries.
set solib-search-path Sets additional directories to search for shared libraries.
set debug-file-directory Sets separated/stripped debug symbols.
set substitute-path Sets directories to search for source code.

  • If you want to change all or just the system shared libs, use set solib-absolute-prefix.
  • If you want to change your local but not the system shared libs, use set solib-search-path.
