This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Steps to reproduce: - run IDE - add MinGW tools collection with 'make' from MSYS and set it as default - create any sample e.g. Quote - clean and build it - run it - try attach debugger Result: Attach debugger window contains a process with path e.g. /cygdrive/c/working/... If MinGW is being used then it's not expected to see any cygwin stuff. I think it also should affect debugging as this process is not visible from MSYS terminal.
I'll take a look at this but I'm fairly certain the answer will be WONTFIX. When the attach panel is displayed, it looks for either a MinGW or Cygwin ps command (functionally speaking, it doesn't matter which it finds). If its a Cygwin ps then ps will output Cygwin paths. As far as the attach feature goes, it doesn't care which path format is used (I think - and will verify). So there is no functional defect. As far as fixing this, I'd have to parse ps output, recognize paths, and convert. I can think of several use cases where *this* would cause a functional defect.
I believe that we should transform paths to Windows manner so that it looks like c:\Users\bla-bla....\quote_1.exe
