Hi
I've tried Dev-C++ with the cygwin's compiler suite.
While the compiler and linker works well due to the build in mingw support, the gdb interface has some problems.

cygwin's gdb print all message with unix eol and this let the IDE be a little confused.  You can see the wrong results in the debugging output window like (gdb)|prompt|more messages|.|...|.
Because I haven't tested a native mingw gcc I'm not sure, if single steppingis displayed in general in the source window - with the cygwin gdb this isn't displayed, this may be also a eol related problem.

BTW: Watching variablesworks well.

I think iut would be nice if the ide would interprete unix eol's also because it seems to me that this IDE could be also usable for the cygwin distribution.

Regards
