I seemed to suffer exactly the same problem. You get the same error if Windows can't access the dll. This seems to happen for some "special" dlls. The size of any PATH variable won't matter - the path it refers to here is the "realpath" conversion of the dll filename. The simple patch applied makes gdb work for me on Windows 7. workaround_win7_dll_path_too_long.patch Patch also below: --- gdb-7.9.1-1.src/gdb.i686/src/gdb-7.9.1/gdb/windows-nat.c.orig 2015-11-23 11:43:17.834000000 +0000 +++ gdb-7.9.1-1.src/gdb.i686/src/gdb-7.9.1/gdb/windows-nat.c 2015-11-23 14:17:30.302252500 +0000 @@ -623,7 +623,8 @@ windows_make_so (const char *name, LPVOI free (rname); } else - error (_("dll path too long")); + warning (_("dll path too long, or can not be accessed '\"%s\"'"), + name); } /* Record cygwin1.dll .text start/end. */ p = strchr (so->so_name, '\0') - (sizeof ("/cygwin1.dll") - 1); Thanks, Tim -- View this message in context: http://cygwin.1069669.n5.nabble.com/gdb-7-8-consistently-fails-to-run-executable-error-is-dll-path-too-long-tp110722p122909.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
