This can be perfectly done. See my previous answer in the other thread you're running. You can use GDB, of course. But be aware that's a completely command line driven debugger. Very powerful, but not so user friendly (enfin, that's my personal opinion). You can compare it with Vi used to edit files: very powerful, but you have to be very well trained to use it fluently and efficient... Don't know how you run Linux (using VmWare or a "real" Linux machine), but if you go for a real Linux, then my personal preference is indeed KDevelop. I've tried Eclipse, Kate, NetBeans... All not "the" IDE I was looking for. KDevelop is also not equally good to comparable editors/IDE's in Windows (I know, but I'm honest if I'm saying I've been "spoiled" with the Windows IDE's around), but so far I found it the better option. Personally, I'm running Linux on a VmWare machine and I must say I only need the Linux environment for running my makes and debug my apps. For the rest, everything is done using (free!!!) Windows tools such as NotePad++, Putty, etc... If you (or someone else) are (is) interested in the way I've set up my environment, I'm willing to share this. Best rgds, --Geert
