M-x gdba doesn't show source window

M-x gdba doesn't show source window

[Ware, John]

Hi,
	Coming back to gdb after a long absence, I'm puzzled at this. I launch gdba( as described in info) and all the proper windows appear except the source window with the arrow(=>) positioned at the "current line". I see stack frames, breakpoints, locals, i/o, etc, but alas no source listing.

	If someone has the time to tell me my mistake or direct me to documentation about this issue, I would be most appreciative.

I'm running: 

GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195) of 2003-08-21 on MIDASPSE17

GNU gdb 2003-09-20-cvs (cygwin-special)

on a win2k box.

thanks

john

I'm guessing that this combination of a Cygwin-compiled GDB and a
non-Cygwin Emacs is your problem.  Try a Cygwin-compiled Emacs (since
you already run a CVS version of Emacs).

And, btw, reports about problems in CVS code should be posted to
emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org or emacs-devel@gnu.org.

This is quite old. Try updating from the CVS repository and rebuilding.
Does that work? Do the toolbar and watch expressions work?
