idb requirements

[Gerald_K_]

I have compiled a large proprietary mixed fortran 77 and 90 code with Composer XE usinng ifort -debug -O0. However, when I open the resulting binary within the idb GUI, none of the usual debugging options are available (e.g., the stepping features are grayed out, and breakpoints that are set are ignored when I run). Is there something obvious I am doing wrong? I have done a simple test with the usual helloworld.f90 code, and that works fine.

You said you compiled with -debug, but how did you link the program? What linker and options did you use?

if you used ifort to link, did you also use -debug for the link step?

I used the following lines in the child makefile:

LD = /opt/intel/composerxe-2011/bin/ifort -nofor_main
.
.
.
@$(LD) -g -o m3 $(CRT1) $(OBJS_LIST) \
-L $(Machlibpath) \
$(LIBS)

I believed that the -g option would enable debug. The LD path points to the current version of composerxe-2011 -- 2011.2.137 .
