I don't think we want to go down that path. Why not? It's a valuable service to the users, I think. Note that I'm only talking about the Windows platform, where building GDB might be a non-trivial job. A sentence saying go find the Cygwin binary, even if you want to debug non-Cygwin applications, could save the day for someone. > I guess we could add a line that says that gdb doesn't build under > mingw. Yes.
