Troubles with gdbtk

Troubles with gdbtk

[Earnie Boyd]

I'm having troubles with gdbtk in that I can't get it to open (stat) a source
file.  It doesn't matter how I specify the path.  It is also getting some
strange signals and aborting.

I might add this is with the most recent snapshot, non-windowed displays the
source, I've even rebuilt it.  Nada, can no do.

With the 1.1.0 version of Cygwin it worked fine.  I'll try on my home PC
tonight just in case it's a setup problem.

Anybody else having problems?

TIA,

The console version of gdb works fine.  Just type: "gdb -nw whatever".

Thanks for replying Scott.  You've described the same problems I'm having.  If
you use the non-GUI (i.e. the -nw switch), the source code is displayed
properly.  This is a feature of the pathing changes I described concerning \ vs
/.  It has caused a bug in gdbtk when it passes the source file name to the tk
routines to display it.  I haven't found where this happens in gdbtk source
yet, it's difficult to debug a debugger that's broken.

Regards,

Earnie,

I've been having a similar problem ever since I transitioned from V1.1.0 to
V1.1.1.  When I execute the command

    > gdb msr

on an executable that has been compiled and linked with the -g option, the
gdb gui interface pops up and an error window opens to inform me

        couldn't stat "/e/Programs/MSR/msr.f": no such file or directory
           while excuting
        "File mtime $f"
        etc

Once the error message is closed, the executable can be run and stops at the
first pre-defined breakpoint, the assembly code can be displayed and stepped
through.  Just can't view the original source.  The source resides in the
same directory as the executable.  Also, since DOS files on binary mounts
have been causing problems recently, I also tried removing the CR-LF from
the source but the problem persists.  Hopefully, that provides some useful
information.
