[cdt-debug-dev] Problems debugging with cygwin gdb

[Joel Brenner <joel.brenner@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
   I'm using Eclipse with CDT on a Linux machine to debug an embedded 
sparc-elf processor and things are working fine.
I've tried to do the same thing with Eclipse under windows with Cygwin. 
The compilation, editing ... are all fine but I've the following problem:

   - when I run a debug session the program is loaded into the embedded 
target and it is started, but when the program counter hits the "main" 
break point and
   eclipse can't associate to it a source file. The problem is that 
Cygwin gnu tools are using a Cygwin path like 
/cygdrive/c/eclipse/workspace/... but eclipse
   try to open a file with the path :     
\cygdrive\c\eclipse\workspace\... which doesn't exist. It seems that 
Cygwin GNU tools are always generating debug information
   using the virtual file system of cygwin which isn't compatible with 
the windows one.

I now that someone is using Eclipse/CDT with Cygwin GNU tools. How have 
you solved the problem? or maybe thats a problem of my setup of Cygwin 
or Eclipse ?
