if you have a 64bit windows box and you compare to a linux 64bit, then
possibly is a mingw thing or something that breaks the standard.
the only debug tool on windows that i use is "gdb".

but i also have "qmake CONFIG += console"
which makes subsurface a console application and you can see stderr/out.
