Hello all!

I am currently investigating tools for use with code that must be
compiled/debugged in both win32 and unix environments.  I have used gcc
and gdb for unix development in the past, and would very much like to
use the same toolset for windows to simplify the development process.
We have a solid set of requirements, though, that my initial review of
the FAQs has not completely addressed.  Any help from your experiences
is greatly appreciated.

1. Is there a stable source level debugger available today?  Using gdb
under emacs would be ideal, but indications from posts in this group
indicate that this is not possible.

2. Can djgpp build dynamic link libraries?

3. Are tools available to import DLLs to executables built with djgpp?
By this, I mean tools like Borland's implib and impdef.

4. Can djgpp executables call the Windows API for access to Socket
functions, etc?

5. Is there a GNU make port to win32?

6. What are your general impressions of the djgpp toolset with regard to
professional development?

Thanks again,

Eric Decker
