The previous version of gdb works properly with Eclipse, including the=20 newest version. Along comes a new gdb and compatibility fails. Trashing=20 gdb-20060706 and restoring gdb-20041228 solves the problem. You tell me,=20 was the old version not working correctly or is the new version broken? When others depend upon what you do, the old maximum for physicians=20 should apply also: "First, do no harm". My suggestion is to roll back=20 the default gdb installation to its previous version and classify the=20 new one as experimental. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
