Insight for Windows

Insight for Windows

[Colin Pilkington]

Hi there

Is there a Windows version of Insight?  I am hoping to use Insight along
with Bloodshed's Dev-C++, but want to be able to run both Linux and Windows
versions.  I am considering using it in an educational environment to teach
C++, and would like to push the GNU GPL at the same time!

Regards
Colin

Yes, Insight can be used on ANY platform that GDB can which also supports
tcl/tk (so no dos).

Please be forewarned that there may be problems with gdb and Insight right
now due to the recent gcc-v3 ABI... :-(

Hello,

some months ago I could find an Insight for Windows in the Internet - 
unfortunately I did not save the URL and now I cannot find it again. Now it 
seems that only UNIX distributions are available for newer versions in teh 
Internet Can you give me a hint for a wondows version?

Thanks a lot,
Gottfried

For developing native "windows" apps, you need cygwin, which also comes
with gdb/Insight. Go to http://www.cygwin.com and install cygwin.
(Cygwin is a POSIX layer for Windows. Your applications aren't really
"native" windows apps, they're more like "native" cygwin apps. To omit
cygwin, you can install mingw from somewhere (sourceforge?) and use a
Cygwin version of Insight to debug, from what I understand.)

OT, but for those who care:

Use -mno-cygwin to omit the CygWin DLL dependencies.  Pure Win32 apps.  (I
build fully static FLTK apps all the time; no run-time dependencies other
than Windows...)

Of course, I use Insight to debug them.  There!  On topic!
