I've not been able to install gdb for RTOOLS40 on Windows 10. The rtools
installer (rtools40-x64_86.exe) doesn't seem to include gdb by default, and
when I follow the instructions for adding gdb (which I tracked down at
https://github.com/r-windows/docs/blob/master/faq.md) this is what happened:
<cd to c:\rtools\rtools40>
<run mingw64.exe>
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gdb

Something very similar happens if I try the 32bit version.
Do you have any suggestions?
- I used to have this stuff working OK with R3.6/RTOOLS35 but have not needed
to go back to C for a while. The version of gdb in RTOOLS is 7.9.1; I tried
copying that gdb.exe into RTOOLS40 but it just exited instantly when I tried to
run it from there.
- NB I have absolutely no idea what is meant by msys2 or pacman or any of
that, I'm just following instructions...
Thanks
