'Debugging with Eclipse CDT and GDB: can't find source file

When I try to debug my application using GDB from eclipse CDT, I get the following error:

 Can't find a source file at "../mingw/main.c"
 Locate the file or edit the source lookup path to include its location.

Eclipse is looking for the source file location at ../mingw/main.c, but it should be in /edit/src/main.c. As you can see in the screenshot below, edit/src is part of the source lookup path. Why is looking in ../mingw? I can't find any configuration setting that makes it look there.

Here is a screenshot that indicates the problem

I'm using eclipse Juno, CDT 8.1, Windows 7 64bit
