How do I update `gdb` as it is outdated? about mingw-builds-binaries HOT 12 CLOSED

sure, you can edit that scenario: https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds/blob/develop/scripts/gdb.sh

@niXman Sorry mate what should I do to update it I don't quite understand?

from mingw-builds-binaries.

1. you need to clone MinGW-builds project: https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds
2. then edit gdb.sh(https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds/blob/develop/scripts/gdb.sh#L38) scenario and replace 11.2 to 12.1 and then build MinGW yourself using the instruction: https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds/blob/develop/README.md

@niXman I ended up choosing the purple one hours ago. Is this still fine? Or would there be issues?

from mingw-builds-binaries.

ah, yes :)

from mingw-builds-binaries.

@niXman oh lol.

By the way never understood whats the difference between MSYS and MinW x64?

from mingw-builds-binaries.

MSYS - MSYS (a contraction of "Minimal System") was introduced as a [Bourne shell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourne_shell) command line interpreter system[[7]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinGW#cite_note-7) with the aim of better interoperability with native Windows software. from the wiki.

MinGW - just one of open-source compilers for Windows.
