In this short video I will be showing you how to install a debugger for use in Crimson Editor.

The debugger we will be using is Cygnus Insight Debugger. Insight is actually a graphical user interface for the command line debugger gdb. I originally got the idea to use the insight debugger while reading SAMS Teach Yourself C++ in 24 Hours. There were instructions for replacing the gdb used by Bloodshed Dev-C++ with the Insight debugger. Since I used Crimson Editor more than Dev-C++, I just made Insight work with Crimson instead.

Obtaining a copy of Insight is really very easy. You can find it in Cygwin ( http://www.cygwin.com/ ). If you don’t feel like downloading and installing Cygwin, you can follow the link to my Insight download in this video’s description on YouTube or find the same link inside “The Little Book of C”. Go ahead and click on that link.
