GDB target exec

Question

I would like to use avr-gdb with a file elf Precisely I need to target a file in windows. I tried this:

target exec C:/Users/DARKCO1/AppData/Local/Temp/build8029591154609303866.tmp/sketch_aug17a.elf

But I get "No such file or directory"

Where is my mistake?

Answer 1

The were two problems:

1) the backslashes

2) I believe the ~ because I changed paths of the folder containing the elf and gdb didn't give me the error.

Answer 2

Paths in Windows use backslashes. Recode the path as

C:\Users\DARKCO1\AppData\Local\Temp\build8029591154609303866.tmp\sketch_aug17a.elf
