gdb (no debugging symbols found)

Hi All,
I'm running gdb across a network using gdb server. Thanks to lots of help from here :D, I've got it up and running.
However I can't see any source or variables for my code (in ddd /gdb).
At start up gdb says (no debugging symbols found).
I've got a g in my make file,
CPFLAGS = -Wall -Os -g -pedantic

I've tried loading symbols in using "symbol-file testarm", this sort of works in that I can view symbols but not names, eg if I ask dd to show x y and z, rather than

x = 10
y = 20
x = 30

it says

display
10/20/30

Also ddd does not show anything in the source window, is there a way I can get it to show this? I think it's because I've started ddd with ddd arm-linux-gdb, as I'm calling a crosscompiler gdb. So can I tell ddd to point to the correct foldes?

Can anyone tell me what commands I need to set in gdb/ddd to view variable names (it's hard to keep track when it bunches them all together) and how to view my source code. Thanks!

helloo.c:

Code:

anisha@linux-uitj:~/junk> cat helloo.c

#include <stdio.h>



int main ()

{

  int x = 10;

  int y = 20;



  x = 30;

  y = 60;



  return 0;

}

See if the following example [commands in RED color] helps you:

Code:

anisha@linux-uitj:~/junk> gcc -g helloo.c

anisha@linux-uitj:~/junk> gdb -quiet a.out

Reading symbols from /home/anisha/junk/a.out...done.

(gdb) b main

file filename
Use filename as the program to be debugged. It is read for its symbols and for the contents of pure memory.
