Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2003 22:23:00 -0000 Organization: Black Mage Village Message-ID: Reply-To: Greatwolf@myrealbox.com X-Complaints-To: usenet@sea.gmane.org User-Agent: Xnews/06.01.10 X-SW-Source: 2003-09/txt/msg00351.txt.bz2 Hi all, The subject pretty much states what I want to ask. Is it possible to use gdb to debug programs that's compiled with borland's free commandline compiler? If possible, how can I do it? Here's what I have tried so far. I downloaded the latest version of gdb source but couldn't figure out how to build it using the borland compiler I'm using. The ./configure doesn't seem to work when using a windows platform. However, I was able to find a pre-built binary of gbd over at the MinGW site and downloaded that instead, but it wasn't the latest version though(I believe it was 5.2.1 or something). GDB runs but as it stands now, I don't think it can recognize any of the debug symbols generated by borland's compiler. If someone could just walk me through this on getting it to work or on how to build it I would greatly appreciate it. This is of course assuming that what I want to do is possible. A quick search on the mailing-list hasn't turn up anything relating to what I'm looking to do Thanks
