Tell adb to load libs from alt dirs

Reuben Cox — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 20:22:20 GMT

I have a core file generated on an HP IA64 machine. I have the executable and shared objects related to the core file. I am trying to get the call stack using the adb debugger but the core file was generated on a machine I don't have access to, so the shared objects are in a different location than they are at the time the core file was generated.

I know if I have a similar situation using gdb I would do the following:

machine:user> gdb
(gdb) set solib-search-path path1:path2:path3
(gdb) file
(gdb) core
Where the setting of solib-search-path tells gdb where to load shared libraries from.

Is there an equivalent if I'm using adb?

Don't even think of using adb, use gdb. Just download the latest.

This is where gdb's packcore will help.

(gdb) set solib-search-path path1:path2:path3

That seems too hard. unpackcore or exporting GDB_SHLIB_PATH will be easier.
