1. compile everyting with debug info. Adding 'DEBUG=1' to the make
   command-line should do this.

2. Run
   gdbw lazarus.
   (or a demo app)

That should be it. There is a cygwin tool called 'insight',
which is a nice tcl/tk graphical shell around gdb for windows.
Using that should really make it easy to work on the Windows shell.
