* [Bug win32/11569] New: GDB won't work @ 2010-05-05 7:03 raynebc at gmail dot com 2010-05-05 7:04 ` [Bug win32/11569] GDB 7.1.2 doesn't work correctly raynebc at gmail dot com ` (2 more replies) 0 siblings, 3 replies; 4+ messages in thread From: raynebc at gmail dot com @ 2010-05-05 7:03 UTC (permalink / raw) To: gdb-prs After reinstalling my MinGW installation (MinGW version 3.4.5, running on Windows XP Pro x64, SP3) with the latest GDB, I found that I couldn't do any debugging in Code::Blocks. This was odd, because I had been using an older version. Even when I went to a command line, running gdb or even "gdb -help" would produce no output and gdb wouldn't run long enough even to verify as having run in Task Manager. I reproduced this twice in a row by downloading gdb-7.1-2-mingw32-bin.tar.gz and extracting to my MinGW installation. After I downloaded gdb-7.1-1-mingw32-bin.tar.gz and extracted that to my MinGW installation (overwriting 7.1.1), it immediately worked. Running from command line or in IDE works just as it always had. Extracting 7.1.2 once again over the working GDB installation causes it to stop working. Following up once again by extracting 7.1.1 one more time allows it to work again. There must have been a serious problem preventing the latest stable release of GDB from working in a development environment such as mine. Hopefully this information will help you find and correct the error. I look forward to continuing the use of this excellent debugger. -- Summary: GDB won't work Product: gdb Version: 7.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P2 Component: win32 AssignedTo: unassigned at sourceware dot org ReportedBy: raynebc at gmail dot com CC: gdb-prs at sourceware dot org http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11569 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Do you have this DLL in your path? Try loading mingw32 libexpat DLL on: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW%20expat/expat-2.0.1-1/libexpat-2.0.1-1-mingw32-dll-1.tar.gz/download install it and report if this fixes your problem. -- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11569 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

I already had Expat 2.0.1 installed (for use with the RATS security auditing tool) and GDB didn't work without this specific dll, so I guess the resolution to this bug (build missing dependencies) would be to include the dll, or at least make it clear that it has to be downloaded separately. -- What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |WAITING http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11569 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
