The value of EXECUTABLE_DIRECTORY is the result of TotalView applying the following rules that combine the EXECUTABLE_DIRECTORY_COMPONENT variable with EXECUTABLE_WORKING_DIRECTORY.
If EXECUTABLE_DIRECTORY_COMPONENT is an absolute path, EXECUTABLE_DIRECTORY is the same as EXECUTABLE_DIRECTORY_COMPONENT.
If EXECUTABLE_DIRECTORY_COMPONENT is not absolute, EXECUTABLE_DIRECTORY is EXECUTABLE_WORKING_DIRECTORY is joined with EXECUTABLE_DIRECTORY_COMPONENT.
The rules for entering information here are similar to those that for entering information for COMPILATION_DIRECTORY. Note that you cannot set these values using dset.
Example
If EXECUTABLE_WORKING_DIRECTORY is /lib and EXECUTABLE_DIRECTORY_COMPONENT is ../bin, the EXECUTABLE_DIRECTORY is /lib/../bin.
