Windows-only issues between Citra and GDB
Posted: Sun Sep 24, 2023 9:56 pm
I recently tried to set up a comfortable dev environment on a Windows 10 laptop. On my Linux machines, I make heavy use of Citra's GDB stub with devkitARM's arm-none-eabi-gdb. On the Windows laptop, I launch both in the MSYS2 MinGW64 shell. I can debug stuff seemingly fine, but if I ever type in a command with an error result (like trying to print a variable that doesn't exist), I get a warning:
On the other side, Citra (Canary 2630) throws a fit:
GDB
For whatever it's worth, my locale is set to C / UTF-8 in MSYS2. What's going on here exactly? Does remote debugging work well for other Windows users? Thanks.
