[Developers] gdb on cygwin

[Arend Lammertink]

Hi all,

As I reported earlier, the gdb delivered with cygwin does not work with 
gcc 3.4. As said, gcc 3.4 is at experimental stage within cygwin, but we 
really wanted to use it because it gets rid of the 2GB file size limit.

However, you can easily build gdb from source and install that. You can 
download the gdb (6.3) sources at:

http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/download/

After unpacking, it's a matter of "configure --disable-nls" and make 
install. Without the "--disable-nls" you will get a complaint:

  make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../intl/libintl.a',
  needed by `gdb.exe'.


I un-installed the standard gdb debugger before installing the new one and 
that worked for me.

Regards,
