Environment variables

There are three environment variables that you can use to override the default RealView Debugger installation:

• RVDEBUG_INSTALL to specify an installation directory. It is set automatically at installation.

• RVDEBUG_HOME to specify a home directory that differs from the default.

• RVDEBUG_SHARE is used to specify a shared location for RealView Debugger target configuration files.

• If you are using RealView Debugger on Sun Solaris or Red Hat Linux, RVDEBUG_WEB_BROWSER is used to specify the Web browser to be used by options in the Code Window Help menu. If this environment variable is not set, RealView Debugger attempts to use an executable called netscape as its browser. The Linux installation overwrites this environment variable to \usr/bin/htmlview.

In RealView Debugger, output to log files and journal files is unbuffered, that is, all lines are flushed to the specified file. To change this, set the environment variable JOULOG_UNBUF to the pathname for the journal or log file.
