#532 GDB 6.3.1 update no good for console mode apps

In console mode application, no console window is
rendered. getting teh application to start seemed
troublesome also. I've rolled it back now so cannot be
more precise.

Not tried GUI app.

Wihtout the gdb update, no console is shown either on my
system (xp).
Fresh install.

Excellent work done by soaringfalcon and an anonymous user on
a workaround that probably points to a permanent solution. See

I think this is by design. GDB 6.3.1 does not turn the new-
console ON by default, which allows a console window to
open when debugging. You can change the default with a
command file. I put a file called gdb.ini in the .\dev-cpp\bin
folder with just "set new-console on" in it.

The in Dev-CPP, I set the following line, "gdb.exe --
command=D:\Dev-Cpp\Bin\gdb.ini" at the following place:
Tools -> Compiler Options -> Programs.

This works out well and does not require a .gdbinit in every
project folder.

There ia a insight debugger I found on the Mingw site very
easy to integrate into dev 4.9.9.2. I downloaded and made it
outside Dev then used packmaker to install works great
