Still the problem of debug project with GDB tool

Question

Here is more specific explanation of what I want to make clear:

• I have some source c files locate under JM/lencod/src ;
• and some header h files locate under JM/lencod/inc ;
• and a Makefile locates at JM/lencod ;

After I compile these source files using Makefile, some of obj files will be generated under JM/lencod/obj , meanwhile a lencod.exe executable file is generated in JM/bin.

Then I want to debug it like what I can do using MS Visual Studio, i.e. step by step debug, watch the parameters changing...

How can I make that happen? To do like this??

$cd ~/JM/bin
$gdb lencod.exe
$break ****
$run

......
There is still one thing,i,e. if I want to set a breakpoint at the main function which is in one c source file lencod.c under JM/lencod/src. How to do this?

Simply typing:

$b main

?

Thanks very much for any possible help:)

Yes, in order to set a breakpoint on entry in main you have to execute command:

b main
