Sorry, a dumb one: how do I BUILD the thing (i.e. gdb) on Win?

[manu0507]

Hello,

I'm sorry, this one will probably make you cringe... but I'm one of the poor
guys running Windows (Win7-64).

I managed to install a perfectly running MinGW64, and it's frankly a marvel
in squeezing whatever juice there is in the machine (I'm in some very heavy
number crunching).
But now I seem to have a bug somewhere, and the only way for me to find out
what happens in the 64bit executable seems to be to run it in gdb. I
downloaded gdb-7.3.1.tar.gz and extracted it ok... but then what should I do
to produce a gdb.exe?
All the doc and commands appear to be targeting Unix (e.g. "./configure"
does of course nothing at all in Win) and unless I have missed something
big, it's not even clear to me which Makefile I should pass to make.

Is there a reasonably clear "roadmap" for building gdb in Windows?

Many thanks for your kind help!

Emanuel
