Right, neither you can make .PDB files with GCC nor you can read them with anything other than MS debugger. Additionally: * -gcoff option produces debugging information that is understood by MS debugger (in a quite limited way though) * -ggdb produces debugging information that is understood by Windows ports of GDB. > > Rich. > _______________________________________________ fedora-mingw mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fedora-mingw
