Thanks,
ok, so I should get:
*new cygwin.dll
*new tcl .dll's
*new gdb
I think I've seen gdb as a complete downloadable package and cygwin.dll as
a separate download but what about the tcl stuff. Does it come with the gdb
package? or do I have to get that separately? Can setup.exe pick and choose
for me? so I don't have to do alot of browsing?
It's still a bit confusing to me to determine what versions of what to
download.
I'm afraid of mixing things up and causing more problems. How do I find out
what versions of what will mix with what I currently have, so I don't have
to download
everything all over again?
I'm surprised that I dont have the fixed dll's because I downloaded
everything
using setup.exe about 2 weeks ago, oh well.
