[Mingw-users] gdb for mingw

[Dave D. <da...@dr...>]

Hello,

I am in the midst of porting an application from DJGPP to mingw.  I
tried to get gdb 5.1.1 (the one of the SourceForge download page)
working, but I am having no luck.  Every time I run it, I get an
internal error in coffread.c or something like that.  Sorry I don't a
have more detailed message, but my machine locks up just after this
error, so I cannot cut and paste it directly.  I can get the exact
message if someone would find it useful.  What are the known
limitations of this version of gdb?

I'm using the mingw 1.1 collection plus the gdb 5.1.1 untar'd over the
mingw directory on Windows 98.  My program also depends on the Allegro
graphics library plus a few others like libpng and zlib.

BTW, I'm not particularly tied to gdb.  I'm open to other debug tools
that work well with mingw.  All I really need is a stack trace so I
can see where my program crashed.  Suggestions are welcome!

Thanks,

-Dave
