Can't get GDB 6.7.1 working

[fackue]

Hi all,

I'm currently trying to get GDB 6.7.1 working with CodeBlocks but I can't get it working.

Here's my log:

Code

I just tried using GDB manually and have it working using the following commands:

Code

sh-elf-gdb "C:\Documents and Settings\Cyle\Desktop\cb_mingw_test\hello.elf"
target remote: 2159
next

Code

sh-elf-gdb.exe "c:\Documents and Settings\Cyle\Desktop\cb_mingw_test\hello.elf"

Any ideas?

Thanks!

"run" appears to be the biggest problem since from what I've gathered it would only work in some situations. Not quite sure how GDB really works to be honest. I'm running a ELF on another system so run ends up resetting the system entirely. The warnings aren't a problem most likely as it's most likely my fault but if there's any way you guys can give us control on what commands are sent to GDB I think the more technically inclined would be able to find their way around. Or at least change "run" to "continue."

Ticking "Do not run the debugee" fixes it, kind of. When I click the continue button the run command is sent. Shouldn't it be "continue"?
