Does anyone actually use insight on Cygwin?
Yes, not regularly but it works fine.
Keith Seitz, the insight maintainer, has recently made changes which will allow insight to work with a non-special version of tcl/tk rather than the hacked version that it had previously been built with. That opens the door to building a real version of tcl/tk for cygwin and linking insight to it. Unfortunately, I believe that would mean that insight would need to run in an X window rather than natively.
No problem as far as I'm concerned, I run Cygwin/X all the time to use mrxvt.
The other alternative is to nuke insight entirely. Is anyone really relying on it? Since I barely test it when I release gdb, I'd expect that there would be problem reports but I don't remember seeing any for quite some time.
Not a big issue, one can use XEmacs to have gdb GUI support... not as good but with some customization it can come close to Insight.
