mingw/gdb: Problems debugging dll from another project [message #543356]

Hello all,

I've problems debugging a dll from another project within eclipse.

What I do is the following:

ProjectA: My main project. I develop a dll for my co-worker in my company
ProjectB: Only a test-client which usees the dll from ProjectA and executes the exported functions.

In ProjectB I've added the "Debug" Directory from ProjrectA to the library search path (-L) and added the dll to the imported libraries (-l). Executing the generated .exe from ProjectB is no problem. But if I want to start the debugger I only get an

gdb: unknown target exception 0xc0000135 at 0x7c9766c6

in the Console-View. (See detailed gdb messages here: http://tinypaste.com/cfdb4)

What do I wrong?

I use gcc-3.4.5 with gdb-7.1 from mingw-5.1.6
cdt-6.0.2 on eclipse-3.5.2

This directive is only used by the linker.

The dll must be in your PATH. In the Debug Launch Configuration you can modify the environment variables for the debugger. Add the path of your dll to the PATH variable.

Try to copy your dll into the folder of your debug application exe.

The there might be another DLL missing. Is mingw.dll in your path?

I can debug other projects. I think gdb can't find the dll from ProjectA but I can't find out why...

Hi all

I have the very same problem:
gdb: unknown target exception 0xc0000135 at 0x7c9666c6

This seems related to this:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=312422

See also:
http://dev.omnetpp.org/bugs/view.php?id=161

The cryptic message seems to mean "Hey can't found a DLL bro, guess which one!".

(I wonder *why* this message has to be *soo* cryptic).

Problem seems that MinGW/gdb 7.1 fails to set the environment variables set through the IDE.

My solution is to launch an MSYS shell, set the env there, and launch eclipse from there, this way it will inherit the MSYS environment.

Alternatively you may consider to downgrade your gdb.

HTH, regards.

He, that's good to know. I always advised people to set the environment correctly and was wondering why it still didn't work (unless you set the environment outside of Eclipse). Thanks for the hint.

Oh yeah, the message is so well understandable Smile

I added this to the CDT FAQ Wiki

I'm sure most of you have worked around this but... Juuuust in case... the simple workaround the IDE is to;

Set the environment variable manually (right click My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables).

I added a user variable the env variable: PATH (case-sensitive, different from Path).

Restarted Eclipse and started jamming with my F11 key.

Cheers.
