I have finally got round to trying Lex's suggestion: set up the
environment via .gdbinit.
Just in case its useful for others I had to:
1. Create a .gdbinit file with LD_LIBRARY_PATH settings in the directory
locating the executable (EXDIR).
2. Ceate a .gdbinit file in $HOME with the command
add-auto-load-safe-path EXDIR
I was pleased that Debugger was able to find the source files for my
library without me having to do any thing extra.
Its great to have a working debugger!
Many thanks,

Hi,
I have been debugging C++ code with gdb in Geany via the Geany Terminal
Tab. I am now trying the Debugger Plugin and can debug stand alone
applications with a static library.
I am now trying an application with a shared library and am having
problems setting environment variables (the GUI is misbehaving).
Invoking gdb from the command line, I am used to including command line
options to specify the location of source directories, and the
documentation in http://geanydbg.sourceforge.net/walkthrough.htm does
not mention this.
The gdb command thats invoked (gdb -i=mi) is fixed so you can't use
any options, maybe GDB allows those to be set some other way. Maybe
it can be done in your init file
https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Startup.html#Startup?
I appreciate that this is all a bit vague, but I thought that perhaps
these issues have already been discussed in the archives.
If so, it would help if I could be given a hint as to where to start.
http:://news.gmane.org/gmane.editors.geany.general yields page not
found. Otherwise I can supply details and screenshots if need be.
My system is Debian 9, Mate 1.16.2, AMD 64 bit
geany 1.29, geany-plugin-debugger 1.29
Many thanks for any help,
