Adding gdb to MinGW

Environment Variables in Python on Linux
Python's access to environment variables does not accurately reflect the operating system's view of the processes environment. os.getenv and os.environ do not function as expected in particular cases.

How to dump data stored in objective-c object (NSArray or NSDictionary)
Forgive me for a potentially silly question here, but in other programming languages (scripting ones like PHP or Perl) it is often easy to dump everything contained within a variable. For instance, in PHP there are the var_dump() or print_r() functions. Perl has the Data Dumper CPAN class, etc etc. Is there something like this for Obje...

How to debug .pc files?
I am using emacs + gdb to debug a bunch of .c files in unix -- and it always worked well. But some of the projects I work in also have a bunch of .pc (Pro*C/C++) files.
