Cygwin with CodeBlocks debugger error

Question

I have Code Blocks 12.11 and I have Cygwin 1.7.27 installed. I have configured C::B to run the Cygwin compiler and it works, but when I try to run the debugger from the Code Blocks environment I get the error:

Cannot open file /cygdrive/c/some_path/main.c

At /cygdrive/c/some_path/main.c:15

If I try to run gdb on the same file from the cygwin command line interface, it works.

Can somebody please help me fix this problem?

A way to make it work is adding a string value under

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2

with

name = cygdrive prefix

value = /cygdrive

If the folders do not exist you have to create them manually.

I have the same problem and this fix does not work if Cygwin is installed separately and then Code::Blocks is installed later.

I am using Code::Blocks version 13.12 and GDB version 7.6.5.

Well, I cannot help you there. I had a different version of code blocks and it was installed before cygwin.
