How to configure source search path

[J.Weiss]

I have a simple question:
is it possible to define the source lookup path so that if the
debugger tries to find a file '<old_root>\a\b\c\file.cxx' it also
tries the path '<some_other_root>\a\b\c\file.cxx'.
Currently I have to add a new .srcpath entry whenever I encounter a
file which is located in some other file directory.
Just a thought: maybe it is possible to configure the srcsrv (using
cv2http.cmd for example? how would I do that?)
I would prefer a way where I don't have to modify the .pdb files
though.
Thanks a lot

Hello JW.

I presume you are using windbg? If not, then you should. In windbg there
is a menu setting that you can set alternate source paths with.

File/Source File Path

You can enter as many paths as you like, separated by semicolons. You don't
need to enter the entire path - just enough to differentiate it from the
normal path. In the case of your example, you would simply enter
<some_other_root>, since the rest of the path is the same.

Alternately, if you just open the file with File/Open on the file you want,
windbg will automatically fix up the source file path to include the
required directory and persist that to the workspace.
