nightly builds: impossible to debug?

[ASJ]

I'am trying a lot of the nightly builds last period of time on my win2k machine using the mingw compilers.
Everything runs smoothly but whenever I compile debug information in and put a breakpoint somewhere I get a message like the following in the debugging pane:

Code Select Expand


Selecting target: default
Compiling: done
Adding source dir: G:\CodeBlocksProjects\MovieProcessing\trunk\
Adding file: G:\CodeBlocksProjects\MovieProcessing\trunk\MovieProcessing.exe
Starting debugger: done
Registered new type: wxString
Registered new type: STL String
Registered new type: STL Vector
Setting breakpoints
Debugger name and version: GNU gdb 5.2.1
No source file named G:/CodeBlocksProjects/MovieProcessing/trunk/MainFrame.cpp.


and the breakpoint has no influence at all.
Of course this makes sense because I think the filename is to a large extent still in "unix style". Is this a matter of just changing a setting? Do more people encounter this problem?

This same problem I also encountered a couple of times before, but I never managed to fix it so always reurned to RC2 where the debugging is working smoothly as well.

That's the problem:

Debugger name and version: GNU gdb 5.2.1

Use gdb 6.3

[ASJ]

That solves all the problems! Thanks!

Just a small question: gdb 6.3 is a snapshot release. Does this give any nasty problems?

[yop]

Haven't experienced any.

[dllmain]

That's the problem:

Debugger name and version: GNU gdb 5.2.1

Use gdb 6.3

I cannot find GDB 6.3 for Win32.
Do you know where to get it?


Thanks in advance, Sebastian

Thank you!

(I was looking for it at SourceForge but did not look at the snapshot section.)

No problem. Things are hard to find sometimes. I have had the same problem myself.

I have gdb 6.3-2 under Win32 and 6.1.1 under FreeBSD, but I still have a problem with debugging code...

No source file named /usr/home/madnut/src/ode/ode_cvs/src/scan.cpp.
Breakpoint 1 (/usr/home/madnut/src/ode/ode_cvs/src/scan.cpp:988) pending.

p.s. Ukrainian is my native language

Hi! I have new trouble with debugger under FreeBSD. since 2256 revision till last. gdb just freeze and nothing todo after:

Code Select Expand


Starting debugger: done
Registered new type: wxString
Registered new type: STL String
Registered new type: STL Vector
Setting breakpoints
Debugger name and version: GNU gdb 6.1.1 [FreeBSD]


I think, that problem is here:
gdb_driver.cpp, line 199

Code Select Expand


QueueCommand(new DebuggerCmd(this, _T("start")));


Cause all working good after changing command back to "run"
So why need "start"?

your gdb says 6.1.1, could try to upgrade to gdb 6.3.x ??
