slightly off topic- using GDB on cygwin to debug a DLL

In the past I've used GDB under cygwin to debug serialization test failures for the gcc compiler. This has worked pretty well. However, now I have a couple of tests test_dll_simple and test_dll_exported that I want to debug. When I try this I get the following error message: gdb: unknown target exception 0xc0000135 at 0x7c964ed1 I'm thinking that this might be an indicator that "it" can't find the dlls which are part of the test as they are in a different place in the directory hierarchy than the test executable. Does anyone with experience with this have any suggestions as to what to do? Robert Ramey

I don't remember the specifics, but if you trawl through the results of GDB's "help" command you can find out how to set up a DLL search path. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
