[Insight-users] winXP-64bit has gdb debugger?

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Amit,

Thanks for your additional details.

This seems to be independent of ITK, and mostly
related to your configuration of gdb in MinGW.

Googling for "mingw gdb crash dll" brings some  hints.

For example:

It seems to be a known issue for MinGW and 64bits.

....

Note that you could also go for Cygwin...
