command line gdb

command line gdb

[Juan Ignacio Pumarino]

Hi, I'm using Cygwin as my software development platform, and I was just
wondering how can I use the 'original' command line gdb, instead of the
Insight GUI, but without uninstalling it --it's a great debugger and I
sometimes really appreciate it; but most times I would rather go for the
old-style (I know I can use the command line commands inside Insight, but
that's not my point; in my computer, it takes a while for Insight to start).

Thanks in advance,

P.S.: sorry about my poor English.

Hi, you want to start up gdb from the command line (either from a Command 
Prompt window or bash) and pass it -nw, like this:

  gdb -nw

That tells gdb to start up with no gui windows.

Cheers.
