Hi, I'm reacting to this email with a long delay but I just wanted to let you know that this change saved my life, now I am finally able to debug again with cygwin (w7 64bits , 32 bits cygwin) because I was blocked by a nasty "security" dll (part of Arkoon Security). A big thank you... Additional

Hi Dominik, In my case, it was not down to the string size being too small. I seemed to suffer exactly the same problem. You get the same error if Windows can't access the dll. This seems to happen for some "special" dlls. The size of any PATH variable won't matter - the path it refers to here i

Hi all, I've dug into the gdb sources. The problem is in the cygwin-only part and is not about the PATH variable but about one single DLL file name. This path length is *fixed* to 512 characters (SO_NAME_MAX_PATH_SIZE) for the *realpath* of the DLL. So there's no way for the user to work around t

Hi, I am running into the same issue. My path is stripped down as far as possible: $ echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin But still no cigar. $ gdb /local/night/fizz_build_Win7_with_icons/libraries/compilelib/unittest/exec/cygwin64/MINGW/normal_mt_so/unittest.exe GNU gdb (GDB) 7.8 Copyright (C) 201

Hi Achim- Thanks. Unfortunately, the change didn't seem to help regarding my issue with GDB. I don't know if it matters, but I fired up an old computer running XP. I updated all of the Cygwin software, and tried the same test. It worked fine on XP, but it seems to fail on Win7, at least for me

2014-08-20 Thread DGStevens
I'm unable to use gdb on any c/c++ executables. When I try, gdb issues the message "dll path too long" and fails to start the target executable. I know that I must be doing something stupid, but it's escaping me. The only forum discussion that I could find suggested using mintty, which I am. I
