[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Geany 1.33 for Windows nearly every month crashes. (#2000)

[Mikhail]

> Geany is built with the GCC compiler, it does not provide the proprietary debug symbols needed to use Microsoft debug tools. (see [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44456068/how-to-compile-c-program-in-gcc-to-enable-debug-in-windbg/44456383#44456383))
> 
> Instead you should run Geany under the gdb Gnu debugger and after a crash when control returns to gdb type `bt` get a backtrace and post that here.

Reading symbols from C:\Program Files (x86)\Geany\bin\geany.exe...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
(gdb)
```

Without locally installed debug symbols it is useless.
