[cdt-dev] Hudson build problem related to gdb tests

[Andrew Gvozdev <angvoz.dev@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Marc,
I have a Hudson job on eclipse.org which builds CDT for branch sd90.
After a merge with master today there is a build failure related to
gdb tests. I am getting following in the log:

[INFO] Command line:

Could not find the main class: ${gdbPathOption}.  Program will exit.


Could you advise what tweaks are necessary to get through the build?
The problem is that it flat fails the build rather than just report
test failure and pass further.  I compared my Hudson job with
cdt-nightly and did not see where ${gdbPathOption} is defined. Is it
possible to disable gdb testing for the build?

Thanks,
Andrew
