Problem with GDB

Problem with GDB

[Jonathan M. Hill]

Hello;

  I'm stuck and in looking at the old mail I see that some have GDB
running, some others don't.  I don't.

   -- This is an install of Cygwin on a new Windows 2000 machine
   -- I do not have MSVC or Borland tools on this machine
   -- The machine has one hard-drive partitioned as a single
      logical drive / this is a single OS system
   -- I don't believe that the path has any DOS-ish details.
      The cygwin documentation I looked at says there is some support
      for spaces in the path.

$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINNT:/cyg
drive/c/WINNT/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Common Files/Adaptec 
Shared/System:/cygdrive/c/bin:/cygdrive/c/Xilinx/bin/nt:.

   -- I used setup to get the latest binary for GDB.  Previously I was
      getting an unknown error.  This time I'm getting a segmentation
      violation.

   -- Here is the example

$ less hello.c
/*
 * Just the traditional Hello World! program
 */
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  printf("Hello World!\n");
  return 0;
}

   -- The program runs correctly.  Here is how I build it

$ gcc -g hello.c -o hello.exe

   -- I'm starting GDB without insight.

$ gdb -nw hello.exe

I'm stuck.  I'll continue looking but if you know of some detail,
I'd appreciate a pointer.

Hello;

     I think that problem with GDB is fixed now.  Last night I ran
setup.exe to update the binaries and noticed several files were updated.
With the updates, GDB runs now.
