[MPlayer-cygwin] What is the recommended way for debugging MPlayer?

[Kaan Kuzugüdenli]

Hello!

I want to understand how MPlayer works by going step by step through its source code using a debugger.

I use a Windows XP system with MinGW. I don't have any problems to compile 
the source code and run the MPlayer on my system.

For debugging, I run the configure script with the "--enable-debug=3" command line option and afterwards I call the make file again, 
but when I want to debug using Insight or the Eclipse IDE, the debugger takes confusing short cuts 
through the code. Often the debugger goes one instruction in the main function forward and then jumps 
back to an instruction that has been previously skipped, or the debugger jumps back to the function declaration header.

My question is how to configure MPlayer or which software should I use to debug MPlayer step by step?

Kaan
