Hi,

Config:  gnat 3.12.p, gdb 4.17, host and target Windows NT 4.0.

After successfully building my program, I tried running it and it
terminates immediately, so I fired up gdb to debug the problem.  I
placed breakpoints on the main procedure line "procedure main", on the
first line after the begin statement, and used the "break exception"
command.  I then pressed Start, none of the breakpoints tripped and I
get the following error message in the Command Buffer:  Error creating
process ...{program name}, (error 193).

I'm guessing there's an elaboration problem, but how do I go about
finding it?  I'm pretty new to both gnat and gdb, what debugging
techniques can I use in gdb to isolate the problem?  I have built
example programs and run gdb on them just to get familiar with gdb and
it appears to work fine so I'm pretty sure it's not a toolset problem.

Any ideas?

thanks,

Dave
