Hmm.  Well I'm confused by your confusion.

gdb has a GUI component.  It's known as either gdbtk or insight.

For gdb to be built as a GUI requires linking in various tcl/tk
modules.  If they are not available, gdb will only be built as a
console app.

Check out http://sourceware.cygnus.com/insight/ for more information.

You can also download a version of gdb/insight from the cygwin project:
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/ .

If you install the cygwin environment then the gdb that you get also
includes insight.
