Long wait for GUI to connect

Long wait for GUI to connect

[Harri Siirtola]

Platform:

WIN98
Cygwin 1.3.1
GDB/Insight 5.1.1 configured for host=i586-pc-cygwin, target=arm-elf

Is there any obvious reason why I must wait for 10-15 seconds before the 
target selection popup appears? If I click "Run" and select the executable, 
or select "Run->Connect to target", this delay results. Or, if I start gdb 
with "arm-elf-gdb myprg.out" and select "Run->Download", same thing.

Thanks for clues,

	Harri

I'm not entirely sure, but there are a few things you can try to solve 
this. Before I go into those, though, you might want to search the mailing 
list for cygwin and arm messages: I believe that GDB 5.1 had issues with 
arm on cygwin. I would recommend using 5.3 (or even 5.2.x).

Back to the original problem: Try running with the console window open to 
see if there are any messages that get printed out. Try bypassing insight 
(gdb -nw) and see if it is GDB that is causing problems or whether it is 
insight.

This should give us a start.

I attached two debug cases, dldebug.txt shows everything from pressing 
"Run" and selecting the executable from the popup to clicking "Cancel" to 
the target selection popup. "dldebug2.txt" shows what happens if I click 
"Run" again. The delay is between "gdb_running" and "Attaching..." and this 
time it's almost a minute.

Ok.. So let me reiterate: When running Insight, you can type the target 
commands in the console window and everything works quickly, right? The 
next step is to open a debug window and see what it is doing when it is 
going so slow.

To open a debug window, hit "Control-F11" in the source window or type "tk 
ManagedWin::open DebugWin" in the console.
