Hello yellowPolyp,

In Windows, a lot of the external tools that are considered standard for
*nix platforms, needs to be provided somehow (compile yourself, get
ready-made executables via the ezwinports project, etc).

For `gdb`, I suggest you try using the one in the MinGW64 project.

Regarding `term`, the easiest alternative for MS-Windows is to use
`shell` instead. At least, that's what I do myself. Instead of bash, you
would be using Windows' shell.

I hope this helped!

Regards,
Sebastián
