[En-Nut-Discussion] GCC 4.8, -Og and -g3

Hi!

I think thats mostly a legacy thing. I'm not sure since which GCC
version this parameter is supported.

Unfortunately it is not. You can not use any shell code on Windows
without a full cygwin environment.

But I just though: Why don't we move some compiler options into the
Configurator? This way we could provide different sets of debugging and
other compiler options while not have to maintain 100 different Makefiles?

Bye,

Ole
