Cannot open source file

[pennam]

I'm having some troubles with relative paths. Running lcov.bat i'm getting this output

W:\geninfo.perl . --output-filename gcov/lcov.info --base-directory .Found gcov version: 4.8.1
Scanning . for .gcda files ...
Found 8 data files in .
Processing file_A.gcda
Processing file_B.gcda

Processing test_file_runner.gcda
Processing file_E.gcda
Cannot open source file ../../file_E.c
Finished .info-file creation
Fixing back slashes ...

The syntax of the command is incorrect.

is it possible to change the base directory of the source files leaving as it is the directory of gcda files?

Tested with a simple project with *.c *.o *.gcna *.gcno files all in the same directory and it works. I need some help to understand how to configure the project paths properly

Thanks

Another update if i change lcov-bat command from

%perl% %idir%lcov.perl -b . -d . -c -o gcov/lcov.info

to

%perl% %idir%lcov.perl -b . -d w:\custom\path\ -c -o gcov/lcov.info

i'm getting the following output:

Creating gcov\lcov.info ...
Capturing coverage data from w:\custom\path\
W:\lcov\path/geninfo.perl w:\custom\path\ --output-filename gcov\lcov.info --base-directory .
Found gcov version: 4.8.1
geninfo.perl: ERROR: cannot read w:\custom\path\ !

any suggestion?

HI pennam,
about paths, usually lcov.bat is used/executed on root folder of the sources and all files should appear there.

As I understood, you are experiencing problems when you run lcov.bat from root?
Could you please show how you run (if any difference to prev comments)?
Also unfortunately not able to check due to no Windows installations I have today.
Thanks
