Bug 6458

Summary: Frysk is acting funny around relative paths

Description Petr Machata 2008-04-25 12:16:27 UTC 
Relative paths act suspicious.  The binary that Frysk somehow found in the home
directory is picked.

$ pwd
/home/ant/frysk-git-2/build/frysk-core/frysk/bindir
$ ls ../ke
ls: cannot access ../ke: No such file or directory
$ ./ftrace -- ../ke
7727.7727 attached /home/ant/ke
joha
7727.7727 exited with status 5

This happens even when the path refers to another, valid binary:

$ pwd
/home/ant/frysk-git-2/build
$ ls ../ke
../ke
$ ../ke
ahoj
$ ./frysk-core/frysk/bindir/ftrace -- ../ke
7784.7784 attached /home/ant/ke
joha
7784.7784 exited with status 5

It's not just a problem of ftrace:

$ ./frysk-core/frysk/bindir/fstep -- ../ke 2>&1 | grep -v '^\['
joha
Total steps [7915]: 3822

Not sure if bug 5624 sysroot is the right tracker, just a wild guess it might be
related.

Consider relative paths when searching for executable.
    
* SysRoot.java (findExe): Consider relative paths.
