The binaries can be run prior to install on most platforms. You do need to know where the build product resides, though. Take asc2g, for example. The sources are in src/conv/asc/. but the build target wrapper script is src/conv/asc2g and the actual binary is src/conv/.libs/asc2g The wrapper script is libtool's means for running the binary prior to install, so it should work right inside the build tree. In general, you should never directly refer into a .libs directory. Since it's a shell script, even if you need to run GDB, there's just a slightly longer incantation needed that works with the wrapper script: ./libtool --mode=execute gdb --args src/conv/asc2g myfile.asc myfile.g Cheers!
