Try to debug your application "manually" with gdb from command line like



to see if this is an eclipse isue.

Best regards.

I thought as much. So it seems to be a problem with the eclipse debugging settings. Open the "Debug Dialog" and try to change settings to MinGW settings and - if necessary - specify the path to your gdb executable.

It should look like the screener in the attachment...


Best regards

This is the same problem I'm having. The error is because your application cannot find the libraries it needs. I've tried setting the PATH everywhere that I can to no avail.

I also have started gdb manually and tried running the program. You are supposed to be able to use:

path [directory]

OR

set environment PATH=[PATH]

To modify the path for the app within gdb. You can check out what the PATH is holding by using the command "show paths". Even when I do this to set the path to point to the directory holding the Qt libraries, it fails saying that it can't find them.

I'm completely stumped. I've tried specifying the path in various ways:

c:\Qt\bin (the \'s get wiped out)
c:\\Qt\\bin (doesn't work)
c:/Qt/bin (doesn't work)

I don't really know what to do from here, haha. Anyone else run into this? I cleared PATH before starting gdb so it would be easier to track down where the libraries were. So gdb should have an empty PATH. Then once in there, I ran my app and found out what library it was looking for, and specified the path (as above). It doesn't seem to work!

Thanks for any help!

PS: After a bit more testing, the problem seems to be with setting the PATH within gdb. The problem with this is that this is the method that Eclipse attempts to use to set the PATH for your application when it launches gdb. So if this is a problem, it needs to be resolved.

Well, unless I have something wrong it seems like Eclipse starts gdb without any PATH variable (I can launch the program in Run mode, but not Debug, so Run seems to have a PATH that points to the libraries).

The reason that it was setting a PATH variable with "set environment PATH=[PATH]" was because I had told it in the Environment tab of the Debug Dialog that I wanted it to set up the PATH for the libraries.

So after I removed this from the Environment tab, I tried the "show paths" command in the Debug console, and it just printed out an empty list. I'm not sure what's going on here! I have the PATH set in Windows to point to the right places, and Eclipse will "Run" the program fine, but for some reason it erases the PATH when it is Debugging?

Well, it is sort of working now. I stopped launching Eclipse with the shortcut that the Qt integration installed. All the PATHs are just set up in my Windows env.

Now I've been having another problem, ntdll!ldrAccessResource() keeps stopping my program. I just realized that I can keep hitting "Continue" to get past it, and I actually hit a breakpoint! So that was nice. I looked at the gdb console and so that "set stop-on-solib-events 1" was there. After I checked the Debug preferences, I saw that the checkbox wasn't checked. After I chcked it, the command still showed up, so I went back and unchecked it. Now in the gdb console I get:

"set stop-on-solib-events 0"

...and a line later:

"set stop-on-solib-events 1"

Seems like a bug maybe? Unless there's another global option I'm unaware of. Is there any way to ignore solib events from a specific library (like ntdll)?

Thanks, hopefully this info helps some other frustrated person.

I had the same problem. But after I unchecked "Load shared library symbols automatically" in Debug preferences, this problem disappeared.
