+ \section1 Mapping Source Paths
+
+ To enable the debugger to step into the code and display the source code
+ when using a copy of the source tree at a location different from the one
+ at which the libraries where built, map the source paths to target paths:
+
+ \list 1
+
+ \li Select \gui Tools > \gui Options > \gui Debugger > \gui General >
+ \gui Add.
+
+ \li In the \gui {Source path} field, specify the source path in the
+ debug information of the executable as reported by the debugger.
