I followed the instructions to install Python pretty-printers mentioned in the below website. https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/STLSupport
I checked-out the python module in my E:\Project directory. I created a .gdbinit file and replaced the path by E:\Project\python and finally placed the file in C:\Users\username folder. (I even tried placing in the current working directory E:\Project).
In either case, I seem to get the following message:

warning: File "E:\Project\.gdbinit" auto-loading has been declined by your `auto-load safe-path' set to "$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load".
To enable execution of this file add

line to your configuration file "$HOME/.gdbinit".
To completely disable this security protection add

For more information about this security protection see the
"Auto-loading safe path" section in the GDB manual. E.g., run from the shell:
info "(gdb)Auto-loading safe path"
I tried adding the line set auto-load safe-path / in .gdbinit file, but it continued to display the same message.
There are very few posts related to pretty-printers with MinGW. The methods mentioned in the following post didn't work either. How do I load .gdbinit on gdb startup?
Can someone please help me in getting the Python pretty-printers to work with MinGW on Windows?
