Problems debugging with eclipse

[debutant10]

Hello,
I am trying to use eclipse with ubuntu 12.04 to debug a c++ program.
Things that were working fine with ubuntu 10.04 now give me problems.

From eclipse I built a c++ "Makefile project".
I set it up as I did before.
It runs fine.
But when I want to debug, I get:


My_Exe [C/C++ Application]
gdb/mi (09/05/12 10:06) (Suspended)
Thread [1] (Suspended)
4 <symbol is not available> 0xb7fe0cb2
3 <symbol is not available> 0xb7ff2977
2 <symbol is not available> 0xb7fe2eeb
1 <symbol is not available> 0xb7fdf1d7
gdb (09/05/12 10:06)
/My_Path/My_Exec (09/05/12 10:06)
If I click in "step over" anyway, here is the message I get in
the Console window:


.gdbinit: No file or folder of this kind ("Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type" in French).
Reading symbols from /My_Path/My_Exec...done.
Single stepping until exit from function _dl_debug_state,
which has no line number information.
I don't know where to start here to fix this problem.
Is the problem due to the gdb compiler ? to eclipse ?
Thanks for any help.

Specify the -g option as one of your compiler options, and then you should be ok.

The -g option tells GCC to include symbolic information in the executable so that it can be debugged.

I am compiling with the -g option:

gcc-4.6 -x c++ -std=c++0x -g ...

thanks!
