[Rd] problem adding gdb to RTOOLS40 on Windows

2021-04-14 Thread Bravington, Mark (Data61, Hobart)
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:
