+Note that if all you want is a stacktrace, it is not necessary anymore
+to use a debugger and --g-fatal-warnings. In Preferences > Debugging,
+make sure that all type of errors are debugged, and that you have either
+gdb or lldb installed. Then a graphical dialog will automatically appear

+requires that you built with Dr. Mingw dependency.
