gdb not showing code within emacs on Windows

Question

I asked a question just yesterday which caused this new issue. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1424231/gdb-within-emacs-on-windows

Basically I was installing a QT sdk which asked me to uninstall MSYS which I did & I hosed my emacs/gdb interaction.

Here is the gdb_init file that I'm using. Before the uninstall of MSYS this worked fine. Now after it, the breakpoints are working but I am not getting my code in another window with the little red dot on the left margin for a breakpoint.

file ~/../sandbox/trunk/current-win32/debug-bin/sm.exe
dir ~/../sandbox/trunk/src/mgr/view
dir ~/../sandbox/trunk/src/mgr/view/appstatus
dir ~/../sandbox/trunk/src/mgr/controller
break widget.cpp:176
break book.cpp:72
break TcpClient.cpp:660
break mainwidget.cpp:1474

The steps I'm running in emacs

M-x gdb 
source ~/gdb_init 
run 
(It will break but not give me the code along with the breakpoint)

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

It turns out I was using the Cygwin version of gdb and had that in my system PATH. For some reason that didn't work out and I was getting errors in gdb within Emacs. Once I installed MSYS(mingw) & the gdb install on their download page and put that in my system PATH then I was back up and running.
