Compiler Errors on first Start-Up!
« on: September 22, 2010, 10:54:34 am »
I am a huge noob, and I just got in to C++ a few days ago.  I really just wanted to dig in to the C++ language because I got a whole C++ video tutorial package from a friend, but I can't debug. It says the debugger executable is not set, but I clearly have the GCC and Intel C/C++ Compiilers installed.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit.

Thanks in advance!

because you ave a compiler, doesn't mean you have the debugger installed. In case of the gnu tooclhains you want the gdb debugger. Search on your system for gdb.exe, and make CB point to it in its settings as suggested by the message box.

Make sure you have installed the build-essentials package. For debugging you need a *debugger*, gcc is the *compiler*. You need gdb as well, and I don't think it's packaged with the compiler.

Search on your system for gdb.exe,

He's using linux.
