Debugging with C::B

<< < (2/2)

qwerty:
I have my issue solved by removing MinGW completely and re-installing it again. However this time I used a self install file that I downloaded from here: "http://www.sci.brooklyn.cuny.edu/%7Egoetz/codeblocks/".
Apparently the problem was with the gdb.exe. The file that I got from "http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=MinGW_installation#GCC_3.4.5_manual_install" was smaller size of 4,118KB comparing with the current size of 8,665KB. I am not 100% sure that was the root cause since I re-installed the whole MinGW, but it looks like that to me. Comparing my initial debug messages with those posted above by Biplab I didn’t see debugger name and version line. That led me to re-installing the MinGW.

Thanks for help.

BTW The GDB v.6.6 is available for download from "http://sourceware.org/gdb/" . Does it make sense to move from the current v.6.3 to the latest v.6.6?

Thanks,

You'll only be able to download the source code; it needs to be specially configured and compiled for MinGW.

Can MinGW builds be compiled from Linux?? MSYS is pretty slow in Windows compared to shell in Linux in the same PC I'm using. Don't know the reason.  :)

I presume so, but I've never tried. You'd probably need to build a cross-compiling GCC and then use that to build the Windows native version.
