Hi Marc,
The short answer is no we don't have gdb working with mingw32. We need
to patch gdb a little just to get it to work with executable files
produced by mspgcc built with mingw32. gcc and ld bult with Mingw32
insert source files names like "c;\fred\joe.c" in the executable, which
gdb doesn't understand. Currently a fix for this is the only patch we
use for gdb on Windows, and we build with cygwin. Some people compile
everything but gdb for mingw32, and use cygwin for gdb with this patch.
I looked hard for someone with gdb working with mingw32, and failed.
Projects like Bloodshed have something close, but I found their gdb was
still a bit quirky. It seems to take a lot of fixups to get it working,
and nobody seems to have found them all. Insight is even worse :-(
If you fix the problem, do tell us :-)
Regards,
Steve

Hi guys,
Hopefully I reach someone on this list who could help me.
Currently I'm doing more avr then msp work and I'm currently looking
for some kind of patches for gdb, to get it build _completely_ under
mingw32.
Our recent version works, but as it uses for it's simulation and "real"
target the
tcp target, we urgently need a ported ser-tcp.c / serial.c for mingw.
Currently a cygwin build is up and running, but as you might imagine,
bloated and slow.
As nobody likes to reinvent the wheel, I'm kindly asking if anybody here
on this list has
build such a kind of port?
TIA
