Error while trying to debug D program - eclipse

My problem is that when I try to start debuggin in DDT in Eclipse (Kepler) an error shows up:
Error in final launch sequence
Failed to execute MI command:
-gdb-set auto-solib-add on
Error message from debugger back end:
No symbol table is loaded.
Use the "file" command.
No symbol table is loaded.
Use the "file" command.
I've compiled the application with -gc and -g flag but it didn't help.
I'm using original DMD compiler.

Sounds like you are working on Windows, DMD has no GDB support there yet. You can either use windbg from the command line or use the Visual Studio plugin, which converts the debug info after compiling.

The issue that I had is that the compiler (DMD) is not working with GDB under Windows. If somebody wants to use DDT with debugging support, he needs to use GDC compiler.
This actually is mentioned in the "Debugging" page:

What does inactive developer path mean in VS Code?

So I am trying to learn C++ and I am using VS Code as my editor, and when I write my code and attempt to compile in the terminal, I get an error message saying "xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun"
What does this mean, and how would I go about fixing this?
Thanks
Did you allready ran xcode-select --install in Terminal ? This will download and install the Command Line Tools package .

How to config CDT debug for cygwin?

I am new to eclipse CDT with cygwin. I just created a HelloWorld C++ project.
The built exe works in cygwin.
If I click the exe in file in file explorer, it says that it can not find cygwin1.dll. This error can be resolved by adding C:\cygwin64\bin to the Path env variable.
If I try to debug directly, I got the following errors:
Failed to execute MI command:
-exec-run
Error message from debugger back end:
Error creating process /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/C:/Users/Cheng_g15klso/Documents/Proj/HelloWorld/C:/Users/Cheng_g15klso/Documents/Proj/HelloWorld/Debug/HelloWorld.exe, (error 2).
The above diagnosis seems to point to lacking of C:\cygwin64\bin, so I add C:\cygwin64\bin to Path env variable in the env var tab of the debug config, but the result is the same.
My questions:
How to solve this issue?
Where to find a list of error to decode error 2?
It seems that the latest gdb above version 9.2-1 is wrong: https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1105969/
I have downgrade my gdb and gcc for cgywin to cure the issue

Eclipse (2018-09) CDT project with Cygwin, can't debug the binary

It seems that everything cygwin-related configured and works fine in my Eclipse project, for example Eclipse is able to invoke 'make' or 'gcc', and can even run the compiled binary and show the output in the Eclipse console window.
However, when I try to debug my binary within Eclipse, I get the following error:
Error in final launch sequence:
Failed to execute MI command:
-exec-run
Error message from debugger back end:
During startup program exited with code 0xc0000135.
Failed to execute MI command:
-exec-run
Error message from debugger back end:
During startup program exited with code 0xc0000135.
During startup program exited with code 0xc0000135.
I do able to launch gdb from my Cygwin console, so it is installed correctly (I assume). But why it fails when I try to use it from Eclipse?
For my case, as you say, it turns out that adding the Cygwin bin folder to the PATH variable solves this problem.
I use Eclipse 2020-06 and Cygwin 64bit on Win7 64bit. And installing Cygwin doesn't change the PATH variable currently.
But it is also confused to me that "build" and "run" work fine in Eclipse whithout the Cygwin bin in PATH.

Executing cuda program through Eclipse is giving error

I am using eclipse to execute a cuda program. I have downloaded a CUDA PLUGIN for
eclipse. When I execute sample cuda program given by plugin its fine but when I try
to execute any other program I am getting error undefined reference to main...
make
Building target: Add_cuda
Invoking: NVCC Linker
nvcc -L/export/trainee3/dinesh/cuda5.0/lib64 -o "Add_cuda" ./mycuda.o -lcudart
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/crt1.o: In function `_start':
(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I found in stackoverflow that some times we get this problem because of system startup file
I used flag -nostartfiles but it is not working in my case..
I have included lib64 and include path in c++ build.
So any suggestion to over come this problem....
We've been over this already.
Use nsight eclipse edition instead.
If you have cuda 5.0 or 5.5 installed, just type nsight in a terminal session.
If you really want to use that Eclipse CUDA plugin (which is no longer supported, I don't believe), then start with the C++ sample project, which you agree now and back then would work. Then modify the source code in that project. Don't create your own project.
Install CUDA 5. It comes with Nsight Eclipse version. Very Elegant to use. NV Visual profiler is integrated with Nsight. Syntax highlighting and debug mode are very easy to use.

ndk-build.cmd: command not found

(sorry for my bad english...)
I'm trying to build my .so library in Eclipse, with the CDT plugin. (It's an android project, with native code...)
Because I'm on windows, I replaced the build command in [Project->Properties->C/C++ build] with this one:
[absolute_path_to_android-ndk]\ndk-build.cmd V=1
But I got this message in the console:
C:\SDK\android-ndk-r8\ndk-build.cmd
Cannot run program "C:\SDK\android-ndk-r8\ndk-build.cmd": Le fichier spécifié est introuvable.
Error: Program "C:/SDK/android-ndk-r8/ndk-build.cmd" is not found in PATH
I tried with only "ndk-build.cmd" in the eclipse's build command, and the path to this command in my PATH environment variable, but I still have the same error.
In fact, I can't execute any program from the eclipse's build command.
I have no problem to build the library when I call ndk-build in cmd.exe, or in cygwin, but when I try to automate the library's build in Eclipse, it doesn't work...
Does anyone have a solution to my problem?
I found the solution by adding the NDK-path to the path variable, in the ubuntu terminal as well as in eclipse. Then I had to DELETE THE ".cmd" in "ndk-build.cmd" because the terminal says that I have no permission with this file ending.
