Hi all,
I have just started to getting familiar with eclipse CDT under MW 7. Before put this post I looked through the forum and I did not find the solution. The problem occure during debugging and the coment "No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command" is shown. This problem is not related to building and running process. Regarding to the additional information I am currently using GNU Debugger which is provided by Cygwin, by the way I was also debugging with MinGW GDB and the result was the same.

Moreover when I was creating a project I chose Empty Project, so my question is, do I have to constitute the makefile? I know that so called "Hello World C++ Project" automatically creates makefiile and makefile is destined for expanded project. I have used Microsoft Visual Studio before and there was no place for makefile.

OK, finaly my question is:

Does each empty eclipse project require makefile creation, if not what I do improper I get below mentioned message.

No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.

Thanks for any remarks.

If you go to Run->Debug configurations... you will see a list of debug launches. Is the one that you are using specifying the binary to debug? Is that binary available?

Your application has no debug info. You should run the debug version.

Yes, it is available I mean the exe file, moreover in debug configuration window there is no difference between my "Empty Project" and "Hello World Project", which debuges properly.

What do you mean Axel that I should run my debug version? Run process executes very well. Please specify your thought.

I believe Axel means that you must run the debug version of the binary, the one built with -g. You will find it under the Debug/ subdirectory of your eclipse project
