ddd debugger: Does exe need to be built within CygWin?

356 views Asked by At

On Windows I normally build my exe in a Windows command prompt with the VC Compiler and my own hand crafted makefile. I was thinking of transitioning to g++. To remove my dependency on MSVC I was thinking of installing CygWin/X and to avail of the ddd debugger. My question is: Will I then have to transition completely to the CygWin terminal or can I continue in the Windows command prompt as I am now and present my finished Windows exes to ddd (somehow) ?!
