Great! Please don't go! :)

Ok, that's fixed (no console problem), but then another error happens 
(see the log bellow).

Yes, I tried that too (gdb wine, and gdb wine-pthread), but I don't get 
debug info for my program (just the wine exec).

Yes, my compiler is mingw, and I've tried -gstabs and -ggdb debug formats.



Logs with the WINECONSOLE set:


METHOD1:
=========

== First xterm:

[leo at LeoLux 2]$ export WINECONSOLE=/usr/bin/wineconsole
[leo at LeoLux 2]$ export WINELOADER=/usr/bin/wine-pthread 
[leo at LeoLux 2]$ winedbg -- --gdb --no-start a.exe
Using wine_path: /usr/bin/wine-pthread

Unknown option '--use-event=8'

Wine 20040121

Usage: wine [options] [--] program_name [arguments]
The -- has to be used if you specify arguments (of the program)

Options:
   --debugmsg name  Turn debugging-messages on or off
   --dll name       This option is no longer supported
   --help,-h        Show this help message
   --version,-v     Display the Wine version



The program winedbg does not exit at this point, just stays there.



== Second xterm:

[leo at LeoLux 2]$ export WINELOADER=/usr/bin/wine-pthread
[leo at LeoLux 2]$ export WINECONSOLE=/usr/bin/wineconsole

See, in this backtrace I get debug info for the wine executable.
If I run gdb ./a.exe instead of gdb /usr/bin/wine-pthread, I do get 
(wrong) debug info:

I think method 2 seems best (I get debug info), but wrong line numbers.

What am I doing wrong?

Also, I've tried tu run the tests above with WINELOADER=/usr/bin/wine, 
and run wine instead of wine-pthread but same thing happens.


Thanks.
