Elcipse Problem
Repost from old site.
I have recently been using the eclipse platform and the CDT Plug in to work on my projects. One thing that caught me out was a set of errors I was getting when trying to debug programs. On clicking debug, eclipse would try to start gdb and produce these messages on the console before giving up
mi_cmd_stack_list_frames: No stack.
No symbol “auto” in current context.
mi_cmd_env_cd: Usage DIRECTORY
Searching the Internet revealed several people have had similar problems but the answer was not easy to find. It turns out the problem is because you workspace path have spaces in it. I had initially created a workspace in a directory on my desktop. Moving the workspace to c:\wkspace solved the problem and meant I could finally use the debugger. I am sure it is in a manual somewhere.
