I'm trying to set up a windows development environment (keeping dual-boot windows and linux systems both constantly healthy and up to date has just gotten to be too time consuming, and I want to cut down to one OS), but I'd like to preserve that way of working. I'm starting to get the impression that this won't be possible however - that I can use emacs, and gdb, but not both together, because they require separate processes. Is that correct? Or is my info out of date, or have I possibly misunderstood? Is there any way to debug with GDB inside emacs under windows 98? I'm using emacs 21.2.1 by the way, although I've tried older versions as well. Basically the process just hangs as soon as I type "run", and pretty much results in a fairly imminent reboot.
