DebuggingOnWindows

The GDB version shipped with OMNeT++ 4.0 (i.e., 6.6) has known issues in setting breakpoints on Windows platform (no such problems on Linux by the way). The solution is to upgrade GDB to the latest version (i.e., 7.02 as of Oct./15/2009) as follows:

• Download the latest version from here.

• Extract it under OMNeT++'s mingw directory (i.e., "C:\omnetpp\mingw"). For example, you can type "gzip -cd xxx.tar.gz | tar xvf -" if you already installed GNU Win32 utilities including gzip and tar.

That's it.
