Re: [cdt-debug-dev] GDB 6.5 does not work in eclipse

Hi !
I'm having the same problem with a non-working debugger after having updated
my C/C++ environment (Win2000 + Cygwin + Eclipse 3.2 + CDT 3.1.1 + GCC
4.1.1). 
I always got a message saying that the source path could not be found when
trying to debug although GDB was working correctly outside of eclipse.
Searching the web and seeing that others had the same problem I made some
experiments (honestly quite a lot) and found a

 WORK-AROUND:   use a   GDB-6.3   version 

..nstead of the GDB-6.5.5 version you actually(=Oct.2006) with a
Cygwin-update.
 
I found two ways to re-install the old version 6.3 of GDB on my
Cygwin-system :

A.) Using the canonical Cygwin-Update procedure and changing in the
Devel-category the selection for GDB to 20041228-3 which install the old 6.3
version.
    (simply click several times on the entry in column New until you see
it.)
B.) Download the old sources from  <http://sourceware.org/gdb/news/>  and
compile from scratch.

Hope this helps.   Regards, Patrick.
