As much as I love GDB dearly and rely on it regularly you might want to have a look at netbeans.apache.org which is also free and a more general fancy UI IDE. If it's a web site you're developing for example it will let you fire up a browser, put breakpoints in the php code, and examine

I upgrade apache from sources all the time tho not on cygwin, we use Linux for that, but the basic idea is the same. My advice, having looked over other advice here, and your responses: 1. You probably don't want to go to another web server like nginx just for what you describe. You would have

I sometimes get in this situation where one and only one xterm receives a paste no matter which window (X or Windows) I'm trying to paste into. THIS IS NOT A BUG REPORT, my cygwin is pretty old. However I've found oddly enough if I go into the xterm receiving all the pastes and press

Just two thoughts: 1. You probably know that 'cc -S foo.c' produces foo.s which is the assembler output. Might be worthwhile examining how the experts who wrote the C compiler handle all this. The output is usually quite readable for someone prone to reading such things. 2. Rather than

I would also think about X11 permissions. Someone might be scanning for activity on port 6000 () and if they find something and it's not locked down (see for example 'xhost(1)') it's trivial to just launch X11 apps on your system which can cause all sorts of mischief. -- -Barry Shein
