Debugging gcc-compiled programs on Windows

Subject: Debugging gcc-compiled programs on Windows

Hi

I just finished porting a GTK (pure C) app to Windows, but there is some weird bug, that I need a debugger to find.

Im using mingw to build it. There is a gdb package for mingw, but that doesn't work - when I press ctrl-c gdb quits, so since I'm not getting crashes the utility of it is.. not there.

Is it possible to compile programs using gcc on windows so that the visual studio debugger will be able to load the symbols for it?

Or is there some way to attach any debugger to a such a program and break execution while it's running?

Thanks,

Andrew
