It's emacs I'm talking about and I'm trying to provide the developers information about a crash on windows vista. Doing this works fine: $ gdb emacs $ run -Q crash! $ bt I see function names, files and line numbers involved before the crash. Now I want to put a breakpoint somewhere and print some variables when that breakpoint is hit. Can I do that in this scenario? If so, how do I make gdb find emacs sources? Doing $ break /cygdrive/c/full/path/to/source/file:1337 doesn't work (No source file named blah blah). If these questions, which basically is about gdb usage and mixing mingw compiled binaries with cygwin tools is considered off-topic, I sincerly apologise. - Eric Lilja -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
