cygwin-gdb / Microsot Compiler [message #55614]

Hello,

I'm currently trying to debug a simple C++ program with cygwin-gdb.
But I have compiled the source code with Microsoft CL compiler.

Is it possible to use gdb on such a compiled binary?
If yes, does anybody know what options should by used with CL and LINK?
I have always the same message from gdb: "no debugging symbols found", so it
is not possible for me te set breakpoints in my program.

Thanks!

I'm not sure but try option "/Z7". I used something like this:

cl /Z7 /Fo1.obj /c 1.c and so on.... As I remember compiler puts debug
info in .obj file.
