Forum,
I am attempting to debug a set of executables in Eclipse; one .exe and a pair of .dlls. These executables were created under Msys/MinGW, a UNIX environment simulator for Windows and of course compiled to run under windows as is the purpose of Msys/MinGW. I have imported those three executables into Eclipse; the .exe and one of the .dll's can be debugged, but the other not. I am pretty confident the .dll that does not parse in the debugger is a debug build; all three files have much larger file sizes than the non-debug builds. Futher the .dll that wont debug in Eclipse appears to be processed properly by gcc.
Thoughts on what I might try would be appreciated. Thx,
S.

Hi,
lately I had a similar problem on my Mac with Eclipse Indigo and the GCC toolchain.
I was not able to debug sources in subdirectories, e.g. {MyProject}/persistence. Moving all sources to the top level directory and debugging them there solved the problem. For a hierarchical structure in my program I only use namespaces now. This solved the problem for my small project and maybe it could be a solution or workaround for you, too. Otherwise you might consider using Visual Studio for debugging. IMHO its debugging abilities are better than those of CDT.
However, it cannot be a durable solution and CDT developers should approach this problem.
