Re: [Mingw-users] Good GUI debugger for MinGW? -Try Netbeans!

[Emanuel F. <E.F...@op...>]

Hi,

We have NetBeans installed on all our [windows] machines for Java 
developments. On the other hand, debugging MinGW with gdb's native 
"interface" is indeed an excruciating experience - would you be so kind 
to point to a resource that would explain how to set up NetBeans for C++ 
debugging with MinGW?

Many thanks in advance!

Emanuel
