GDB not showing line details

I have bunch of source code which I compiled using -ggdb3 flag.
I have copied the source code and executable to an another machine.
When I run the exe in gdb it does not show the statments at the line numbers when it breaks.

This is what I see
Code:
Breakpoint 1, TestCode (handler=0x806e110, args=0xffffd2b0)
    at ../myfile.c:1080
1080    ../myfile.c: No such file or directory.
(gdb) n
1083    in ../myfile.c
(gdb) 
1084    in ../myfile.c
(gdb) 
1085    in ../myfile.c

I even tried setting the dir path using gdb dir command by giving the name of the topmost directory of the source code but no help.

Any way to resolve this issue?

I even tried setting the dir path using gdb dir command by giving the name of the topmost directory of the source code but no help. Example my source code directory structure is like
Code:
            C
            |
         --------------
        |                  |
        D               E
        |
        F
        |
   -----------
  |               |
  S             T

The file I am debugging may be in some inner folder say F. While I gave the path of folder C in gdb dir
Code:
dir /home/C

More details are:
Code:
> OS SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
> gcc version 4.3.4 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 152973] (SUSE Linux) 
> GNU gdb (GDB) SUSE (7.5.1-0.7.29)

Here are the Makefile details
Code:
#
# Makefile for building demo code on SUSE Linux

all : SLIBINSTALLDIR = $(SDESTDIR)$(SLIBDIR)

###########################################
#               Defines                   #
###########################################

CC = --mode=compile gcc
LINK =$(DESTDIR)libtool --mode=link gcc
INDEPSDIR = ../../../../../dependencies/internal
MODULE = TestCode

INCLUDE = -I../ -I$(INDEPSDIR)/include
CFLAGS := $(CFLAGS) $(INCLUDE)  -DN_PLAT_UNIX -DN_PLAT_GNU -DVERSION=0x00010002 -D_GNU_SOURCE -g -ggdb3


CSRC  = ../myfile.c ../decode.c  ../encode.c
COBJ = $(CSRC:.c=.o)
COBJ1 = $(CSRC:.c=.lo)

TestCode:$(COBJ)
         $(LINK) $(CFLAGS)  -o TestCode $(COBJ1) -all-static 

DESRC  = ../main.c
DEOBJ = $(DESRC:.c=.o)

If the add the full path of each file in gdb dir then it show proper line details. But adding each and every file name in dir is tedious.

It is looking for the source file in ../. It's going to be looking one dir up from wherever you tell it.
