Debugging DLL on Windows [message #140005]

hi

I would like to debug a DLL on windows.
In fact it's an ActiveX control running in Internet Explorer.

I get an error alert when I try to attach the process :
-----
Execution is suspended because of error.
warning: Cannot insert breakpoint 1:
Cannot access memory at address 0x564f
-----

I use MinGW 3.1. and the debugger works for a simple sample (standalone)
app.

Any idea ?
Maybe I must set some gcc flags to be able to debug the DLL ?
(I am not the author of the project Makefile and I am not familiar with
gcc options)

Thanks!

I've had real trouble debugging Windows apps with gcc generated DLLs. I've
tried doing this with Microsoft Flight Simulator, but with not much luck.
The issue I think is the Windows app doing things that gdb isn't expecting
and confusing it.

At any rate, I don't know of a workaround until we get a good Windows
debugger integration.
