Problems with GDB for GNAT 3.10p

Problems with GDB for GNAT 3.10p

[Veenker]

I just installed GDB for GNAT 3.10p (Windows NT)
When I run GDB (to debug a Win32 program), I get the following message:

[failed reading symbols from DLL]
"/WINDOWS/SYSTEM/COMCTL32.DLL": error reading line numbers

[tcsetpgrp failed in terminal_inferior: error 0]


Any help will be appreciated.

First, note that there is now a public release of GDB that works with
GNAT 3.10p. It should be available at the usual public download sites
by now. We finally solved the annoying problems in getting this to work
correctly in Win95, at least for a variety of tests and testing sites
which tried the new version out, so it seems in shape to release.

For questions on GNAT, or GDB or other GNAT related technology, the best
place is to go to chat@gnat.com. This is a high signal to noise ratio
mailing group (no junk cross posted stuff on whether to learn Java to get
a job :-) that concentrates on GNAT issues. If you are using GNAT informally
or for experimentation, you can often get sufficient help from the helpful
volunteers who contribute to this mailing list. To subscribe send a 
subscribe message to chat-request@gnat.com.

If you are a suppported customer of ACT, then of course your questions should
go to report@gnat.com with your customer number, in which case you will get
immediate response from the ACT support staff (= the ACT development staff,
all of whom have support as their highest priority).

Nothing wrong there. These are only warnings. The COMCTL32.DLL is
a Windows DLL that has no debug infos in it, that's all.

You should be able to debug your program.
