I have to say I was impressed at all the work that made this possible. However, I'm completely stuck on building the Windows versions of GDB in the mswin sub-directory. Is there a file anywhere with instructions. I've been making slow progress with the MSVC 4.2 compiler. It barfs a great deal from a command line nmake and won't start at all from developer studio (multiple items building the same file). I've had to play tricks with subst eg. subst g: c:\cygnus\src so that references to g: in the makefile work. I've hacked at some header files to get rid of compiler error. I'm sure I shouldn't have to do this. I've tried stepping back to MSVC 2.0. But I get registry problems during the install... which then bails out. Alternatively, is there an archive with pre-built binaries that I can download to save on the headaches.
