Debugging fortran code in Eclipse with Photran and GDB debugger: missing symbols

Question

I have a program, written in fortran90, previously successfully compiled on a compaq compiler and working, that I'm now trying to compile with gfortran. I can compile the code to an .exe and run it. It works fine until a certain point in the routine and then an error is thrown.

My current configuration:

• Windows 7
• Eclipse Juno with CDT
• Photran
• Cygwin installation with gfortran compiler and GDB debugger (gdb.exe)
• Configurations for the debugger:
  • GDB command set: Standard (Windows)
  • Protocol: mi
  • Shared libraries: don't load shared library symbols automatically (when activating this, no changes are noted).

When running the debug command I get the following output:

.gdbinit: No such file or directory.
Reading symbols from /cygdrive/c/Users/thys/Documents/doctoraat/12_in   progress/Hamfem/Debug/Hamfem.exe...done.
auto-solib-add on
Undefined command: "auto-solib-add".  Try "help".
Warning: C:/Users/thys/Documents/doctoraat/12_in progress/Hamfem/Hamfem/in: No such     file or directory.

[New Thread 5816.0x654]

Basicly that leaves me with 2 questions:

1. Where can I find the .gdbinit file in the cygwin installation?
2. Are there any other possible errors in my setup, or points to think about?

Answer 1

Did you add the debugging information when compiling? When using gdb in console it shouldn't be a problem, except looking at memory addresses and a lot of gibberish, but there could be complications from using Eclipse...
