I installed the full version of MinGW studio on an XP box. I like it, but
I can't for the life of me see how to invoke the debugger, and quite a bit
of web searching doesn't seem to help. The only non-disabled option in the
Debug menu is "quickwatch", and I don't get how that works, either.

Any suggestions. gdb does seem to be there

Did you add your MinGW bin path to the PATH environment variable? In
my case, just type gdb a.exe in MS-DOS, where a.exe is your
executable.
Because I use Emacs to edit my code, compilation and debugging has
become very easy. In emacs, just type the command M-x gdb.

I used mingw studio some years ago, and did you compile with "DEBUG"
mode? or did you set the PATH correctly?

Got it. I had a few MinGW directories, and gdb was in the wrong one!!

Thanks
