Eclipse error: No source available for ""

Question

Using Eclipse Helios in Mac OS X Leopard and debugging C++ code calling fsf gdb 7.1, the debugging stops at first line of main. Then after the first step I get

No source available for ""
View disassembly

Why this error? Should I give additional options for compilation? Eclipse generated automatically the Makefile

Answer 1

I had the same problem and the following solved it:

Go to menu Run->Debug Configurations... and a dialogue window opens. On the left there should be selected your project name (say MyProject for example) under C/C++ Application. If not select it. Then on the right side, select the tab main and make sure that in the textbox under C/C++ Application reads: Debug/MyProject. Also check that Debug is selected in the dropdown box next to Build Configuration: below.

In my case instead of Debug/MyProject, it was Release/MyProject. I never understood why. Anyway...

Hope that helps
