Eclipse CDT - using objdump in Windows

Vote count:

0

The Eclipse CDT Binary Parser 'GNU Elf Parser' is having trouble on my Eclipse install on Windows.

• All works fine on linux install

Problem

I have a compiled ELF in the GNU ELF 32 format. When I attempt to view this with the GNU Elf Parser, I get:

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "objdump": Launching failed
at org.eclipse.cdt.utils.spawner.Spawner.exec(Spawner.java:347)
...
at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:636)
at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:591)
at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1450)
at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:1426)

Deubg

Of course, this just means the CDT-plugins can't find objdump.

  The ELF tested opens correctly in a linux-eclipse-cdt install

  Say my objdump is located at 'C:\binutils\bin'

  
  


• How the heck do you setup Eclipse's CLASSPATH to search there?

I've tried several things, from editing my system PATH, or CLASSPATH. I've also tried setting Workspace & C/C++ Build/Env settings. Nothing has worked.

Question

How the heck do you get this to work?
