Hello!

I need some help. Yesterday I downloaded the new Gnat Ada Development Kit
Version 3.14. However I have problems wirth starting the gvd debugger.
My System always throws a kernel32-exception.
Anyone ideas?

Thank you
Herwig Lejsek

No but if it can reassure you it also crashes at startup
on Win98SE - a Kernel32 exception too. So we are two ;-)

I would suggest that if you want to use GVD, you use
one of the supported development targets, i.e. WIN2K
or NT (XP may also be OK), rather than Win95/98 which are
likely problematic. If you have to use one of these older
systems, then I would suggest using gdb directly if you
find you have troubles with GVD. GVD is fairly new technology and we
definitely do not suport Win95 or Win98
for development, and it is in this kind of visual interface that the
incompatibilities of Win95 and Win98 with NT are most likely to be
noticed.

Or Linux where the GTK+ libraries are developed and work better than on
any Windows variant.

I have an application based on GTK with some users on Win 95/98, and 
have seen a similar symptom: seg fault in kernel32.dll.  The workaround 
is to locate gtkrc, and determine whether the font that's specified 
there is actually on the machine.  Another possiblity is that the 
"module_path" doesn't point to the directory containing redmond.dll.

If adjusting these doesn't work, you can comment out the module_path and 
redmond.dll references in the file - this will result in not having the 
windows theme.

You'll have to experiment a bit.

Ah ok. Then comment out the line:

   Gtk.Rc.Init;

in your main procedure should work I think.

Well this sounds very nice (not having the windows theme, that is)
