Build ID: M20070921-1145 Steps To Reproduce: I use CDT with cygwin on Windows XP. I am trying to run a cppunit test case, for example: http://pantras.free.fr/articles/helloworld.html The version of cppunit that comes with cygwin is broken, therefore I got the cppunit sources (1.12.0) from sourceforge, compiled and installed to the default directory /usr/local (relative to cygwin root). This results in the dll (which is in /usr/local/bin) not being in PATH, which triggers the problem: When I build the test case and try to run it in Eclipse, nothing happens: The program does not run; the console merely says "<terminated>"; the error log is empty. I would expect Eclipse to give me an error message here. For example, when I run at the windows command prompt, I get an error message, saying that cygcppunit-1-12-0.dll cannot be found. More Information: When I add "D:\Programs\cygwin\usr\local\bin" to PATH and restart Eclipse, the unit test runs.
I think this is a major issue. It confuses beginners and anyone expecting the "missing dll" message.
