Error Launching the Debugger [message #198122] Tue, 24 July 2007 14:10 Go to next message

Hello,

I have installed minggw and cygwin and then I installed Eclipse 3.3 Eroupa
and when I first launched I got a message that the Registery was blocked by
the Administrator. Does Eclipse need to edit the Windows Registery? Next I
built a hello world using the template and it built fine. However when I
launch the debugger I get the following
Error Creating session
Exec error: Launching Failed
Exec error:Launching Failed
Exec error:Launching Failed

Is this related to the Registery message? or is there another problem

THanks in Advance
Larry

Eclipse and CDT do *not* touch the registry.

Problems could be:
- debugger is not on your path
- debugger is not called gdb (the CDT default)

Derek,

I have installed MinGW and Cygwin. They are listed first in the path for
windows and I'm using the default settings for Eclipse. Don't both tool
chains ship with gdb?

Thanks,
Larry

Yes, but they might not be called "gdb". gdb is normally named something like
aaa-bbb-ccc-gdb or xxx-yyy-gdb. Search for *gdb.exe and see what you find...

Derek,

I found that the default install of the MinGW does not install gdb and that
it has to be installed seperately. I have it working now.

Thanks
