Can't you just use the search bar? It exists for a reason...

How to download/make gdb backtrace? (for Windows user)

QuanTech

The program is called gdb. Gdb is a debugger.
If you have already installed MinGW, I think you should be able to run gdb. I'm not sure though, since I've switched to linux..
Google is your friend

I have already installed MinGW, but I doesn't have gdb.

So, probably enter mingw-get install mingw32-gdb

Is there a file named gdb.exe in your C:/MinGW/bin directory? If there isn't, you'll have to download gdb and put it in that directory.

How to backtracing TPT? (use gdb backtrace)

QuanTech

First, learn the basic commands. Once you've done that, set a breakpoint on GameView::OnTick, run the program, and when it hits the breakpoint, you can run the backtrace to see which function calls lead up to the current function.
Also, you must compile TPT with debugging symbols. If you're using scons, that'd be: scons.py --debugging
