Eclipse (2018-09) CDT project with Cygwin, can't debug the binary [message #1797063]

It seems that everything cygwin-related configured and works fine in my Eclipse project, for example Eclipse is able to invoke 'make' or 'gcc', and can even run the compiled binary and show the output in the Eclipse console window.

However, when I try to debug my binary within Eclipse, I get the following error:

Error in final launch sequence:

Failed to execute MI command:
-exec-run
Error message from debugger back end:
During startup program exited with code 0xc0000135.

I do able to launch gdb from my Cygwin console, so it is installed correctly (I assume). But why it fails when I try to use it from Eclipse?

This isn't a CDT problem.
0xc0000135 i a Windows exit code meaning "Application failed to initialize properly"
usually meaning a DLL failed to load.
Unfortunately, it's not much more informative than "Error! Something went wrong!"
There a number of reasons for getting this,
You will have to systematically try the fixes.
What worked for others may not work for you.

Try Googling "causes of 0xc0000135" and "How to fix 0xc0000135".

What "fixed" this for me: Add the Cygwin "bin" directory to your PATH and relaunch Eclipse.

You can also avoid this problem by adding the linker flag -static.
That forces static linking of the support libraries so the executable is standalone.
Hope that helps someone out there,
