What's going on here?  The my program does not work, so I try to debug
it.  But gdb hides the error I'm trying to find.

Maybe I don't know what to look for, but I can't find this problem
referenced in the FAQ nor the archives.  I have looked though.

In MYPROG.C, modify main() so that it has printf("Hello world"); as its
first executable statement.


ReCompile MYPROG using gcc via a makefile (30 something *.c and *.h
files)
get no warnings no errors
link step gives no warnings no errors

At the DOS prompt type MYPROG.EXE and press enter
MYPROG prints nothing to the terminal nor to any file that I can find.

At the DOS prompt type
gdb MYPROG
type run at the (gdb) prompt.

MYPROG operates as would be expected under 'normal' circumstances.

What's going on here?  The pgm does not work, so I try to debug it.  But
gdb hides the error I'm trying to find.




TIA and Cheers
