new gdb interface

[Roland Schwingel]

Hi...

Cygwin uses insight, the gnu gdb frontend (which when you got used to 
it, can help a lot)
and which is included in newer gdb versions.It is *NOT* a cygwin extenstion.

To start in traditional mode run gdb with the -nw option.

I'm not sure if this is a cygwin issue, but...

I just ran gdb for the first time on CYGWIN to debug a little program 
I'm writing
 All of a sudden up pops a graphics window.  Now, I've used gdb for many 
years,
enjoy it, and can operate it.  I can't operate this graphical interface 
and don't want it.

After 10 minutes of looking at the man page (written  with the Microsoft 
familiar-"you")
and info stuff, I see no clear instructions how *not* to get the 
graphical interface.
Everything seems to address the old, non-graphical interface (hence my 
suspicion
that this is a CYGWIN issue )

In trying to kill it, I now have an unkillable, dead window on my screen.

Can anybody tell me how to run real gdb?  And can graphical interfaces 
please be
optional, rather than the other way around?  A graphical interface for a 
debugger
is not a bad idea, and this one may be a good one (there are already 
good ones,
like ddd, but that's besides the point), but when I want a graphical 
interface, I'll execute it.
