Re: [cdt-debug-dev] Using Eclipse/CDT with GDB.

[Jon Wilson <jdw100@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just updated gdb to 5.2.1, get the same error "gdb --version" is 5.2.1, 
not using the old version by mistake.
Compile without "-g3" and when running (from CLI)...
gdb --exec=hello.exe --symbols=hello.exe
   get (no debugging symbols found)
with "-g3" gdb seems quite happy.
Not really used GDB at CLI before. Have I missed something in the 
options pane or something maybe?
I don't get my hello.exe listed under C/C++ application->search in the 
main tab of the debug. Doing C/C++ local debug.
Any help very useful. An updated FAQ would come in very useful! Using 
WinXP and Java 1.4.1_02 if that matters.
Thanks for you help.
