Screenshots are found at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/GrandUnifiedDebugger and http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7876. The latter article states that: "I describe a new mode, which I call GDB-UI, that is a part of the next release of Emacs (21.4) and offers the GUI features of many modern debuggers". Whenever I start gdb it creates a buffer within emacs that looks the same as if I was using it from bash, so I'm guessing the reason why I don't have the 'GDB-UI' layout as shown in the images is because the emacs version I have is too old (the binary you donwload using the cygwin setup program is version 21-2). If I'm doing something wrong I'd love to know what. Now make runs successfully until the following error message appears: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -lcurses collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [temacs.exe] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/emacs_downloaded/emacs-22.1/src' make: *** [src] Error 2 I looked on the internet, but there was nothing referring to lcurses and emacs. I woul think that all of the required libraries would get automatically included?
