Noob question regarding STL debug [message #743019]

I'm using the indigo version of eclipse. I've read the FAQ but I don't quite understand it. (evidently, I am not allowed to post links yet).

I am a windows user (windows vista).[/b] What does the following command do and does it apply to a windows user?
svn co svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk/libstdc++-v3/python

I followed that link and manually downloaded the python files. I think created the .gdbinit file as instructed. One issue that I have is that I am not clear about what is meant by the root project directory.

The following was copy and pasted from the console so that you can see the mingw gdb version.
C:\MinGW\bin>gdb
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.3

I also see gdb-python27.exe in addition to the gdb.exe within the mingw\bin directory. So I tried changing the gdb settings to point to that gdb-python27.exe and the new .gdbinit file. I didn't find an existing .gdbinit file, so I assumed that I should just create it and put it somewhere on my c drive, and updated the preferences to point to that. The following error occurred when trying to debug my c++ project.

Error in final launch sequence
Failed to execute MI command:
source C:\PythonPrettyPrinting\PrettyPrinting.gdbinit
Error message from debugger back end:
C:\PythonPrettyPrinting\PrettyPrinting.gdbinit:6: Error in sourced command file:
Error while executing Python code.
C:\PythonPrettyPrinting\PrettyPrinting.gdbinit:6: Error in sourced command file:
Error while executing Python code.

If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

Can you post your gdbinit file? I have the following:

python
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/stl_printers_gdb.py')
from stl_printers_gdb import register_libstdcxx_printers
register_libstdcxx_printers (None)
end

set print pretty 1

I am not sure if you can use Windows style paths. I think you have to use slashes "/".

Apparently you have to convert the script from 2to3 but there's errors doing that.
This sucks. CDT get it together. You need to make this easy and it should be done by default. UGH.
