Re: Compilation of 5.3 on cygwin under Win2000


Hi,

I am running the trunk GDB under Cygwin (including trunk tcl/tk) and I have
found it to work equally as well as the old versions.

Thats not to say it won't kill itself, only that it won't do it very often
and I have found insight under Cygwin from 2 years ago to do so as well.

One of the problems is that when gdb kills itself, insight won't display the
error message. Unless you look at the stack dump you can't tell the
difference between insight killing itself due to its own problems and gdb
having an error which should be reported and fixed.

The last I heard, there were still serious problems with insight and
cygwin.  So, even if you get it built, you'll have other problems.

This is why there isn't a newer version of insight in the cygwin net
release.
