Hi Stephane,

Cross posting to so many lists is not a good idea. It is a sign of
bad netiquette. Since this is a GDB problem you would be better off
asking for help on the gdb list first. Then if you get no response
maybe try the eCos list.

Anyway, as a workaround have you tried invoking GDB with the "-nw"
command line switch ? It will start GDB in text mode, so you wont
have the sexy GUI but you will be able to debug your application.
As for the missing the main.tcl file I suspect that you need to read
the file README.GDBTK which should be found in your GDB sources in
the gdb/gdbtk directory. In particular there is a paragraph there
which contains:
To find the GDB tcl code, GDB first checks for the
environment variable GDBTK_LIBRARY. This can be a
directory name or a list of directories separated
by colons (semicolons on Windows). GDB will check
each directory in order until it finds "main.tcl".
If GDBTK_LIBRARY is not set, GDB will look for
"gdbtcl/main.tcl" in the current directory, and
finally, it will try to find the tcl directory in
the sources.
So you need to set up the GDBTK_LIBRARY environment variable or else
copy main.tcl to C:/CYGWIN/TOOLS/share/gdbtcl.
Cheers
Nick
