is it possible to use gdb with dmd and the dm linker on windows?

mingw, I was surprise I had to download ONLY the gdb.exe. I was
afraid I had to install lots and lots of dlls and support progs.

does it means it doesn't work with dmd? I'm trying to avoid installing
gcc on windows.

I'm trying to have my D windows environment on my 128M
USB flash memory thing - so far it's more than enough; including
the GTK+ libs.

Right.

No, it shouldn't. DMD only has one debug information format (CodeView), 
which is not among what gdb knows.

CodeView format has changed a number of times, thus a fairly large MS 
library is requiered to process it uniformly.

You can rip dbgeng.dll, dbghelp.dll and cdb.exe from Microsoft Debugging 
Tools for Windows NT/2000/XP to get a command-line debugger, about 3 
megabytes total.

The version of DMD I'm currently working on does a lot better job of putting
out Codeview 4 symbolic debug info. Windbg.exe works fine with it.

I'm also trying to figure out the dwarf2 format so that we can at least get
line numbers for elf debugging.

Does come with Visual C++ 6?
Visual .NET 7.1 ?

or where else do you find these
thanks
