Issue
I am trying to enable Pretty Printers on Windows to debug STL containers. I installed Eclipse, MinGW (to get gdb-python27 and Pretty Printers) and Python 2.7.7. After configuration, during debugging (from Eclipse and console), I am receiving the error: "ImportError: No module named _gdb".
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 70, in <module>
File "<string>", line 67, in GdbSetPythonDirectory
File "c:\mingw\share\gdb/python\gdb\__init__.py", line 19, in <module>
import _gdb
ImportError: No module named _gdb
Question
I am missing _gdb module. Is this module a part of Python? How should I get this? Did I missed something during configuration? Any direction that will guide me?
Rescue words - Help Me!
I tried to find the answer, but I cannot figure out how to solve the issue. I will appreciate if you could help me. Thank you!
Setup
- Eclipse: Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers (Luna Service Release 1 (4.4.1)). I setup path to gdb-python27 and .gdbinit in Window -> Preferences -> C/C++ -> Debug -> GDB
- MinGW: gdb-python.exe (GNU gdb (GDB) 7.5), Pretty Printers
- Python: 2.7.7
- Path: c:\MinGW\bin\
- PYTHONHOME: C:/Program Files (x86)/Python27
- PYTHONPATH: C:/Program Files (x86)/Python27/Lib/
.gdbinit:
python import sys sys.path.insert(0, 'C:/MinGW/share/gcc-4.8.1/python') from libstdcxx.v6.printers import register_libstdcxx_printers register_libstdcxx_printers (None) end
Cause
MinGW GDB 7.5.1 uses Python Scripts from normal GDB 7.6.
Solution
I found the solution here: ANSWER.
Steps:
- Download gdb 7.5.1: GDB 7.5.1.
- Copy syscalls and python directories from gdb-7.5.1\gdb\ to MinGW\share\gdb.
