RE: [Mingw-users] gdb debugging question

[Kevin W. <kw...@iT...>]

I am using gcc 2.95.2 from Mumit Khan ( the gcc-2.95.2-msvcrt.exe self
extracting zip ) and the w32api-0.4.

This would indeed be incorrect for MinGW, if you're using Cygwin gcc I
could see this happening.  You'll have to give us what versions of gcc
and binutils you're using.  Try adding a directory path to find the
source in gdb.  I don't remember if gdb handles C:/foo correctly.  You
may need to be on the drive in which the source exists and add a
directory to search for source without the C:/.
