Setting Pathmap

You can set pathmap so that WDB GUI can locate the object files for the currently loaded executable, which are spread over many directories. The Pathmap ’From’ and ’To’ dialog box lets you define a list of substitution rules that need to be applied to the path names to identify the object files and the corresponding source files. In this dialog box, you can add, delete, and change the priority order of pathmap.
