I'm trying to follow the example in the R for Windows FAQ on running gdb and am getting stuck because gdb tells me "Cannot access memory at address ...".
Here's what my gdb session looks like (This one from a cygwin shell, but same results from plain Windows CMD shell): $ cd R-devel/src/gnuwin32 $ gdb ../../bin/Rgui.exe GNU gdb 5.2.1 Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

(gdb) break WinMain Breakpoint 1 at 0x401296: file ../graphapp/graphappmain.c, line 59. (gdb) run Starting program: y:\falcon\src\R-devel\src\gnuwin32/../../bin/Rgui.exe Breakpoint 1, WinMain (Instance=0x400000, PrevInstance=0x0, CmdLine=0x261f26 "", CmdShow=10) at ../graphapp/graphappmain.c:59 59 startgraphapp(Instance, PrevInstance, CmdShow); (gdb) break R_ReadConsole Cannot access memory at address 0x23e17 (gdb) info symbol 0x23e17 R_ReadConsole in section .text (gdb) Any suggestions? Attempting to set other break points (do_BLAH) gives the same result. I compiled with 'make DEBUG=T' per the instructions on Duncan Murdoch's Building R for Windows page. I also tried compiling after modifying the makefiles to remove -02 optimization (see patch below for what I did).
