You can use "gdb" which is a line debugger. However as much as I DO
love the command line...even I am a sucker for a visual debugger...
I haven't done as much C programming as I would have liked to over the
last few years. however, if I were abetting man I'd bet on this:

If you do install visual tools under cygwin, you will also need to
install X-Windows (X-11).
Good places to look for things: freshmeat.net, gnu.org
Do not worry freshmeat.net is not a porn site...unless you consider open
source and/or free software a form of pornography...in which case
remember what Potter Stewart said about the subject and don't let anyone
tell you different :-)

What about debugging tools? What would you suggest to get started with?

This may be a bit off topic but what does a harmony developers desktop

an

What sort of tools would one use on a Linux environment, eclipse cdt
perhaps? I'm not afraid of command lines, :-) but they're a barrier to

for someone like myself who would just like to explore the code base.

Grab "cygwin" and install a bash shell for windows, the GCC compiler,
automake, make and vi. Do not install emacs because it has a speech
impediment.
There is a certain bias I have that tends to think that visual
programmers do not tend to be able to write compilers and the such. If
command lines are a barrier to entry, wait till you meet hexcodes and
relocatable memory addressing. However that may just be that I'm a
command line junkie and a bit of a techno-bigot.
