GDB for Windows

[Zingam]

How can I compile and use GDB for Windows with CodeBlock?

Well I have compiled GDB with Cygwin and when I try to debug with CodeBlocks. GDB reports that cygdrive/.... etc directory is missing and doesn't work.

Have you compiled GDB 6.5 for Windows?

we use the MinGW port: www.mingw.org, search the wiki on how to install it.

It comes in an installer: http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/gdb-6.3-2.exe?download

Well, I really want GDB 6.5

I think you should try to compile it under the MinGW-MSYS environment.

Although we have planned to fix this problem, I don't know when it's gonna be fixed.
But, if I 'm not mistaken, couldn't you build gdb with cygwin but pass the -mno-cygwin flag to the compiler?
