Problems with SDL and GDB

SDL Development
1

I’m trying to write an SDL program under windows. I’m compiling with MinGW
3.2, I’m using the version of GDB that comes with MinGW 3.2 and SDL 1.6.
When I run my program though GDB it just freezes when it gets to the
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) line. This doesn’t happen when it’s not running
though GDB so I’m guessing SDL and GDB are conflicting somehow. Anyone got
any ideas on how I can get GDB to work properly with SDL?

Did you try with SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO|SDL_INIT_NOPARACHUTE); ?
