gdb can do remote debugging, so it's possible that it may work, even
from MS-Windows to linux. Worth giving it a try anyways.

Yes. If gdb doesn't work as is, from MS-Windows to linux, you could try to add the feature to it.
In anycase, gdb is an example of how it works from linux to linux.


If you're not in adding features to gdb, you could instead run linux
in a virtual machine on your MS-Windows machine, and either debug
locally or remotely.

Standard practise is to open a remote session (telnet, rsh, ssh,
PuTTY) to the Linux box and use gdb to debug the process. If you run
Linux in a virtual machine this method works as well.

I am looking for a GUI based windows app. Can we do anything using
eclipse?

Why don't you just work on the Linux box? You appear to be looking for
ways to make your life difficult.

Then get something better, VNC maybe or a virtual machine.

Anyway, do you have C++ question?
