Category: gdb Group: None Status: Closed Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Michael Stather (michaelstather) Assigned to: Chris Johns (cjohns) Summary: GDB doesn´t handle paths with spaces Initial Comment: When using gdb from inside eclipse (with the cdt installed) if I use a workspace path with spaces in it I get an error about "invalid argument" In general, is gdb updated anymore? The version on the website is very old. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Earnie Boyd (earnie) Date: 2006-12-05 16:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=15438 Originator: NO Open source is maintained by volunteers who are interested in providing the software. Not everyone is interested enough to provide patches. We will support those who want to supply a working version by allowing the package to be submitted to our download site. We don't support your use of our software in eclipse itself even though we support the software you can use in eclipse. We can't support everything. There are only a few of us who actively do anything. GDB just happens to fit the case where someone once upon a time was interested and supplied a patched version for download but hasn't been interested enough to continue with upgrading it and no one else has found the time or been interested enough either. It is open source so that everyone who is interested enough can provide patches and support the software. I'm sorry if you feel cheated by the fact that no one has found time to modify it. Everyone seems interested enough to complain but no one seems interested enough to stop complaining and supply an updated package. As for the bug tracking system, I have recently become very narrow-minded toward the submissions to the bug tracker. Bug reports lacking quality or relevance to someone within MinGW actually being able to deal with a situation will be closed or redirected to another tracker. http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/ReportBugs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Michael Stather (michaelstather) Date: 2006-12-05 15:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=392303 Originator: YES I don´t think this has something to do with eclipse. Apart from that mingw is the only free toolchain which can be used with eclipse, so why don´t you support that. Apart from that I´ve submitted several bug reports and the only thing I got was always "do it yourself". Why don´t you close the bugtracker at all? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Earnie Boyd (earnie) Date: 2006-12-05 10:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=15438 Originator: NO Paths with spaces are issues with most software not specific to windows. In addition we do not support using the tools in Eclipse. Feel free to help us upgrade the version we will accept your request to add a mingwPORT for gdb. Please submit your gdb port to the mingwPORT submission tracker at the SF project site. To help you get started with mingwPORT please check our the portmaker module from CVS.
