Unix like line ending in Win32 based Lazarus

I am having troubles with GDB (WinCE) and accessing the correct line
numbers in pascal files.

GDB documentation suggests that lines should be terminated with a LF
(line feed) ONLY  rather than the CR-LF used in DOS/Windows.

All my files are created by Lazarus and all lines are terminated by
CR-LF.

Is there a setting in the Lazarus IDE and editor that produce LF
terminated lines????

There are tools available to strip CR from files, good for a one-off
conversion but not good for a compile-run-debug environment.

if I cannot generate lines terminated with a LF only how do I use GDB
correctly with lazarus????

Thanks, Ian

Ok, If I cannot generate "Unix like" line endings in the Lazarus how
do I use GDB in a meaningfull way, correct line numbers, etc......

A little more on the topic. I wrote a small program which stripped the
CR from each line of a .pas file.

File displayed OK in the IDE.

When I inspected the .pas file each line was terminated by a CR-LF
pair again.

Lazarus strikes again.

GDB continues to missmatch on line numbers.

(and that GDB documentation actually says things at all about win32?)

It's possible that win32 GDB was fixed for this, and the wince one
not. Not much options other than adapting lazarus to do the same. (or
to patch gdb for wince, but I assume that is worse)

Not constructive or useful in any way.

The topic is 5 years old. It only attracts spam bots nowadays, I
guess.
