Could anyone give any information where to download it?>>
A bit confused, since Win32 is an API, not an operating system. The current
status of GDB is as follows.
There is a version of the latest Ada aware GDB that works correctly on NT,
but it causes serious termination problems on Win95. We are working on
correcting the Win95 problem (best guess is that Eva was really asking
about Win95), and will release a publicly available vesion when this
problem is solved. The termination problem results in total system
failure, requiring a reboot, on some Win95 systems, so it is something
that needs fixing before release. This is the new GDBTK version which
has a full visual front end (it is similar in style to the Cygnus
GDBTK front end, but we have done substantial enhancement work).
The old GDB for version 3.09 will still work to some reasonable extent
with 3.10p on NT, so you can go and dig that up and build it if you want.
Our intention is that for the NT release, we will include a prebuilt
binary version of GDBTK that will integrate smoothly with AdaGIDE.
This works nicely on NT now, and several of our customers are successfully
using this with 3.10b on NT. SO all that needs to be done is to sort out
this termination problem, and everything should work well. We will make
an announcement here on CLA as soon as this new version of GDB is released.
