Re: Problems with GDB

Re: Problems with GDB

[Roger Racine]

A while back, someone asked if anyone (else) was having problems with GDB
for GNAT on Windows 95.  I stated that I had also not been able to get it
to work, while others said that it worked fine.

I found what I did wrong.  Perhaps the original poster did the same thing.  

First, I admit up front that I (obviously) missed an instruction in the
installer, since I saw the instruction when I did the installation again. 
But it would probably be a good idea to add the restriction to the README
file, since I remembered the restriction mentioned there ("C" disk only)
that is not in the installation instructions.

The problem was that I had a folder called "Program Files", and some lower
level folders under that.  Other compilers were within this tree, so I did
my first installation in there.

In my second installation I read the installation instructions better than
the first time.  There, when it asks for the directory in which to
install, there is a note saying that there may be no spaces in the path
(nasty rule to those of us from a Macintosh background).  So I created a
new folder for GNAT, and GDB now works.
