[cdt-dev] More pain..

[David Ryan <Oobles@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

After the huge response from my last email :)..  I wonder if this info 
is of benefit to anyone.  Hopefully it finds its way back to the 
developers who can fix a couple of things.  Anyway.. this is the result 
of a few more hours playing/testing.

As I mentioned in my last message, I discovered that I needed to 
checkout my files with unix line feeds.  A search on the eclipse turned 
up a suggestion to start eclipse with

   eclipse.exe -vmargs -Dline.separator=\n

This did seem to work when checking out files, however it also had the 
effect of messing up a number of configuration files.  In xml files it 
actually placed the \n literally.  This caused problems, so I went back 
to normal and used wincvs to checkout the files into my project 
directories.  It would have been nicer to be able to use CVS from within 
eclipse, but this will do for now.

When I started to try changing the way to start eclipse I also made a 
decision to do so in a separate workspace.  I now have two icons on the 
desktop, one with -data c:\java and another -data c:\cygwin\usr\dev.  
This seems to be an issue with the CDT debugger configuration.  If I 
startup eclipse with the original java workspace and setup a debug 
target everything seems to be ok.  However, using the new 
c:\cygwin\usr\dev workspace when I setup a new "C/C++ Local" debug 
target I receive an error "[Debugger]: No debugger available".  The 
Debugger panel has an empty drop down list for Debugger: selection.

If anyone can suggest a way of getting back the debugger selection it 
would help a lot.  I've looked through the .metadata directories for 
anything obvious, but haven't found anything.

Thanks,
David.
