Question

I want to use Integrated Tool to develop C++, not to use Eclipse as only the editor and compile in other environment. my eclipse CDT tool as default is without GDB debugging environment, can any body give some hints on how to install gdb to Eclipse CDT?

Answer 1

For Windows - You can find "ready to use" gdb.exe here MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows at Sourceforge.net. Get gdb-7.0-2-mingw32-bin.tar.gz.

Just install into MinGW directory and set path to gdb.exe under Run->Debug Configurations->Debugger.

The latest on 05.2012 - MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows - gdb-7.4-2-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma
