Eclipse and CDT: Debugger problem

Thread view:

I have Eclipse 3.0.1 with CDT 2.0.0 on WinXP with MinGW and Cygwin.
Everything works except the Debugger. I get the following message:

Failed Launching CDI Debugger
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.core.cdi.CDIException: Unable to set working
directory: /cygdrive/c/Eclipse/workspace/Test2: No such file or

With cygwin I can cd to /cygdrive/c/Eclipse/workspace/Test2.
Some statements in the groups say that this means the debugger is
outdated. But I have GDB 5.2.1 from MinGW, which should be good.

any clue is welcome :-)

Shouldn't you have used a _Windows_ path for the working dir? I don't
know the CDT plugin, but is there a way to specify the work dir for the
debugger?
Since you're running Eclipse on a Windows platform, Eclipse only knows
_Windows_ paths and a Unix/Cygwin path is likely to fail.

Many thanks for your answer.
For the working dir of Eclipse, I used C:\Eclipse\workspace, but how to
set the workdir for the CDT plugin, I don't know.
It might be a problem because I installed Cygwin and MinGW in parallel.

For my Installation I found a way to debug properly. Just had to choose
a different Debugger in the debug configuration:
[Run] -> [Debug...] -> Test2 -> Debugger -> (Choose "GDB Debugger"
instead of "Cygwin GDB Debugger") -> [Debug]
Now, it works perfectly :-)
