How do I load .gdbinit on gdb startup?

Question

This is a seemly trivial question but I can\'t find a simple way to accomplish this.

I have my .gdbinit file defined in the same directory as where gdb.

Answer 1

None of the above answers worked for me. The problem is that under windows there's no HOME enviroment variable set. So let's set one: Write in command line:

   set HOME=c:\users\user

where the .gdbinit should be, and where You can disable the security protection by setting it content:

set auto-load safe-path /

And from now, Your gdb will load Your local .gdbinit

c:\MinGW\bin\gdb.exe app.exe
