ndk-debug crashed suddenly. gdb.setup: Permission denied

Question

I was debugging my natives libraries with the ndk-gdb and suddenly it does not works!.. when I try launch it through Cygwin I get this:

cp: missing destination file operand after `/cygdrive/c/User/admin/ workspace/threadTest/obj/local/armeabi/gdb.setup'

Try `cp --help' for more information. /cygdrive/c/android-ndk-r5b/ndk-gdb: line 576: /cygdrive/c/User/admin/ workspace/threadTest/obj/local/armeabi/gdb.setup: Permission denied

/cygdrive/c/android-ndk-r5b/ndk-gdb: line 577: /cygdrive/c/User/admin/ workspace/threadTest/obj/local/armeabi/gdb.setup: Permission denied

P.D: device-> Samsung GT-P1000, debugging on windows, same problem in the emulator Any idea? Thaks!

cp: missing destination file operand after `/cygdrive/c/User/admin/ workspace/threadTest/obj/local/armeabi/gdb.setup'

This error message is by the following line in ndk-gdb script.

cp -f $GDBSETUP_INIT $GDBSETUP

$GDBSETUP_INIT is empty, it comes from

GDBSETUP_INIT=`get_build_var_for_abi NDK_APP_GDBSETUP $COMPAT_ABI`

And then, get_build_var_for_abi is

get_build_var_for_abi ()
{
    if [ -z "$GNUMAKE" ] ; then
        GNUMAKE=make
    fi
    $GNUMAKE --no-print-dir -f $ANDROID_NDK_ROOT/build/core/build-local.mk -C $PROJECT DUMP_$1 APP_ABI=$2
}

Thus, make doesn't work correctly, I guess. Have you installed GNU make with cygwin setup?
