Unable to debug with Neon and TDM-GCC [message #1774965]

Windows 7 64-bit
Eclipse Neon.2 (4.6.2) 64-bit
TDM-GCC 5.1.0-2 64-bit

When I try to debug a C program I get the following error:

Could not determine GDB version using command: C:\TDM-GCC-64\bin\gdb.exe --version
gdbwrapper: AssignProcessToJobObject failed

If I run the same command from the command line I get:

C:\Windows\System32>C:\TDM-GCC-64\bin\gdb.exe --version

I can debug from the command line, but it would be easier if I could do it in Eclipse.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

There is an entry in the Eclipse log:
java.lang.Exception: gdbwrapper: AssignProcessToJobObject failed

Bruce,

Did you ever resolve this? I am hitting the exact same problem today with Oxygen, TDM-GCC using gdb 7.9.1.

As you said, I can start gdb manually from a command prompt just fine, but when attempting to start a debug session from Eclipse, it fails with an error message:

Could not determine GDB version using command: C:\TDM-GCC-64\bin\gdb.exe --version
gdbwrapper: AssignProcessToJobObject failed

Unfortunately I haven't managed to do so.

I suspect it is something to do with the output from the command.
I was going to check the source code but I couldn't find a packaged version of the source and I didn't want to download the complete repository.

I have downloaded Oxygen and I get the same result, which is what I expected.

One thing I haven't tried is to see if I could find a different compiled copy of gdb.
I'm not sure if the output from the command was changed when TDM compiled it.

Namaste, Bruce

In the Eclipse Debug configuration, at the "Debugger" tab, try C:\MinGW\gdb64\bin\gdb.exe for GDB debugger. The default C:\MinGW\bin could be 32-bit.

I think TDM is 64 bit only, but using "gdb -version" in both directories gives the same result:
