These are the ones that have the fix to get the "\"s right. You onlyb need a new gdb for doing cross platform debugging (e.g., debugging an ARM board from a gdb running on your Windows machine). For native debugging the gdb that comes with cygwin works fine. > I think I've seen gdb as a complete downloadable package and cygwin.dll as > a separate download but what about the tcl stuff.

It comes with gdb native. If you want to do remote debugging and want the GUI, get the packet that starts with insight- not the one that starts with gdb- (the second one is CLI only). > It's still a bit confusing to me to determine what versions of what to > download. > I'm afraid of mixing things up and causing more problems.

It is still not as automatic as it should be. I will mention this to some people. What I try to do is to keep everything I got from the cygwin installation unless some very compelling reason forces me to do otherwise. > I'm surprised that I dont have the fixed dll's because I downloaded > everything > using setup.exe about 2 weeks ago, oh well. > I guess you must have missed it by a day or two. -- Fernando Nasser Red Hat Canada Ltd.
