Failed to execute MI command -exec -run [message #1173501]

Hi all,

I try to debug a makefile project with eclipse, cygwin and mingw in Windows. When I start the debugging, I get the error message

'Failed to execute MI command -exec -run'

When I check Preferences > Debug I just find a GDB but not a GDB MI tab as it is shown in some manuals.

I also do not have an idea where the MI command '-exec -run' is specified.

What's wrong with my installation or setup ?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Klemens

With the new CDT GDB integration, there is no more GDB/MI preference page.

-exec-run is meant for running a new process, while -exec-continue should be used when you connect to an already running process.
It is possible that your scenario already has the process running but Eclipse does not realize it.
You may be using the wrong launch type. Try using C/C++ Remote application but switch to the manual delegate:,
or you can try using the old GDB integration:
