Description hurricane 2017-07-24 07:07:36 UTC

Until recently, whenever I was asking to debug a native C++ program, Netbeans would ask me to select what executable to debug by giving me a list of all binaries from all directories in the "prefix" build target.

Now it does not do it anymore.

I tried closing Netbeans and rebuilding the project from the start (configure.ac -> configure -> ...) then restarting Netbeans, but the issue remains.

Then I tried to manually select the executable, but I don't see any file in the directory.  If I switch from "Elf Executable Files" to "All Binary Files", I see them.

The file I was trying to point to is clearly an ELF:

/tmp/build/bin/project: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, with debug_info, not stripped

'file' util can't recognize your file too. I think you speak about https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246757

You may be right. I'm puzzled as why it worked as expected until at least the 11th of June.
