Vim, GDB

In this aspect, Emacs has a better GDB interface. The best interface for using GDB with vim seems to be the clewn project. The installation is fairly easy. This page describes the process of installing and using gdb with vim. However, Clewn works only with gvim and not with vim. If you are using vim on a console, you need to recompile vim with vimgdb patch. The process is described on the Clewn webpage. You can click here . This option is little cumbersome as one has to download the source and compile it with the vimgdb patch. Since I like gvim, I prefer to use clewn.
