In our previous episode, Florian Klaempfl said: mingw32. Did someone ever try to build a libgdb under mingw32? Yes, there is even a bug report discussing it (it doesn't work). (I quickly tried to duplicate that last weekend, but kept running into missing sys/ipc.h, even with mingw patches applied. I didn't have time to further look into this. Probably will have to subscribe to mingw list to ask a bunch of questions about it I assume) ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

The stand-alone debugger gdb distributed with fpc is not cygwin, but mingw32. The 2.2.4 gdb.exe greps on cygwin. It might be workarounds for debugging cygwin programs though, since looking with pe-explorer doesn't show gdb.exe statically linking to cygwin. ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
