How to install debugger in Cygwin and use gdb for debugging C programs?
I have Cygwin and want to debug a C program. The gdb command gives 'command not found' error message. How do I get the gdb command to work?
Is there something else I need to install during the Cygwin installion?
Error in Cygwin Terminal: -bash: gdb: command not found
Solution
When installing Cygwin (https://cygwin.com/), you have to select the gdb and gdb-debuginfo packages for installation. See required install packages for gdb at [https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/gdb-src.html]
