This means that "INSIGHT_FORCE_READ_PREFERENCES" was not defined in the

since I used Windows.]
I restart my machine and now (gdb) tk set
::env(INSIGHT_FORCE_READ_PREFERENCES)
returns "1".
Can you open a (command) shell and view the environment variables? [I
think that's the "env" command, but don't hold me to it. Like I said, I
haven't used windows seriously for at least ten years.] If so, is
INSIGHT_FORCE_READ_PREFERENCES listed?
After the restart of my machine, I run the env command and now it shows
INSIGHT_FORCE_
READ_PREFERENCES variables with "1" as its value.
[Of course, the '$' should have been omitted.] Nonetheless, this is the
directory that is coming up as your home directory. [Is "HOME" set in your
environment?] Unless you define HOME, you will have to place
gdbtk.ini/gdb.ini in this directory in order for insight to find it. To be
precise, this is where you will have to put gdb.ini (which you should not
need). This is where insight will put gdbtk.ini.
gdbtk.ini is on my home directory: C:\Users\help.
I hope that does not turn into a problem. I have no idea what kind of
modifications were made to gdb/insight (if any). What is the output of
"show version"?
This is the output of "show version":

This GDB was configured as "--host=i686-pc-mingw32 --target=arm-eabi".
Now it's reading one breakpoint that was saved previously on gdbtk.ini when
I
tested it in command line, but it isn't reading my .gdbinit file that is
also located in my
home directory (C:\Users\help).
