Re: [Dev-C++] Beta3 Debugging

[Mac R. <re...@no...>]

Sorry, the error is NOT in CreateProcess, but in GetStdHandle.  It looks
like Dev-C++ can't get access to the stdin/stdout/stderr handles for GDB
for some reason.  I tried a quick install on a different machine.  If it
helps, both problem machines are running Win98SE, which has been known to
behave differently than the NT/2K/XP OSs with regard to console handling.

Just as a test, I went ahead and unzipped the Insight5 package over the
Beta3 install.  Running that had the following results:
 - Still got error with GetStdHandle.
 - Insight ran, but did not know which program to debug.
 - After telling Insight which executable to debug, it all went fine
   except that the output from the program never appeared on the screen...

Dunno if that helps any,
Mac
