I honestly cant stand to use GDB for one more minute. Honeslty, maybe that hting was quality back in the day, but nowadays, theres just much better stuff. Its so inconsistant and flaky, it makes me wanna rip my computer out of the wall. One of my favorite htings it does is wehn you try to print out a local varialbe an it says "there is no variable in this context with that name" when there VERY CLEARLY is, or when it prints hte same lines OVER AND OVER AND OVER,. It rarely prints out my printf's, its a miracle if it does, and if i try to do an if statment block kind of thing, it just assumes im an idiot and didnt do it on purpose and breaks there on the next line....i mean FFS i meant line 209, not like 212, there was a very good reason i picked line 209. i cnat take it anymore. can anyone recomend a good C/C++ IDE/debugger for windows, (mainly debugger. i can use notepad =P), that wont cost me and arm and a leg, and runs on GNU?

oh and btw, dont get me wrong, i think GNU has by far the best implementation of C and C++, but their debugger is just horrible to deal with, especially whenworking on a time budget

I like Visual Studio 2005, the debugger is great. The express version is free.

do u know about VS's compatability with GNU? are they interchangable? cus i tried to compile my homework in code warrior and got 200+ errors

Sorry, didn't see the "runs on GNU" bit in your original post.

You can write code that works in both Visual Studio and gcc, but there are a few differences to do with GUI, console control, sockets, threading, etc, that can make it harder to cross compile.
