break on a external source file

[costin_c <costin dot cosoveanu at gmail dot com>]

How can I tell to gdb to put a breakpoint on a given line in C++
source file, located in directory situated other than current one ?

$cat -n main.cc
     1  #include <dir/print.h>
     2  int
     3  main(int argc, char **argv)
     4  {
     5      Print P(100);
     6      P.print();
     7      return 0;
     8  }
$ cat -n dir/print.h
     1  #ifndef PRINT_H
     2
     3  class Print
     4  {
     5      private:
     6          int val;
     7      public:
     8          Print(int v);
     9          void print();
    10  };
    11
    12  #endif
$ cat -n dir/print.cc
     1  #include <print.h>
     2  #include <iostream>
     3
     4  Print::Print(int v)
     5  {
     6      val=v+v;
     7  };
     8
     9  void Print::print()
    10  {
    11      std::cout<<val<<std::endl;
    12  }

Program exited normally.


In dir/print.cc:6 program is not interrupted by break, only at
breakpoint from main.cc:6.
