Hello all, 

I can't succeed in getting gdb to work on my w95 box.

I got the following error:
" Error creating process /francois/Prog/xpdf-0.90/a.exe, (error 1157)"

This append whatever process I tried to start.

Maybe I miss something, or I have a bad configuration.

Any help would be very appreciate.

Regards, 
Francois.

/francois/Prog/xpdf-0.90>gdb a.exe
GNU gdb 4.17.1
(gdb) r
Starting program: /francois/Prog/xpdf-0.90/a.exe
Error creating process /francois/Prog/xpdf-0.90/a.exe, (error 1157)

(DLL missing ???)

The a.exe came from
gcc -g toto.c

toto.c:
main()
{
int i = 0;
i ++;
return 0;
}

>cygcheck a.exe
Found: .\a.exe
.\a.exe
  C:\WINUTIL\CYGNUS\CYGWIN~1\H-I586~1\BIN\cygwin1.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\advapi32.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KERNEL32.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\user32.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\GDI32.dll

Note: cygcheck -v -s -r is not working, and crash my system ??? maybe a
clue, 
        but everythink else seems to work.

Note2: I have recompiled gdb 4.18, without problem, but get the same
error.

Note3: executing a.exe is ok.
