Debugger program specification.

[cetewayo99]

Hi
I've used other IDE's but I'm completely new to CB. First time I try to start debugger it says:

ERROR: You need to specify a debugger program in the debuggers's settings.
(For MinGW compilers, it's 'gdb.exe' (without the quotes))
(For MSVC compilers, it's 'cdb.exe' (without the quotes))

Problem is that Settings>Debugger contains no place to enter 'gdb.exe', the nearest is to choose a debugger type.
I must miss something ...
Thankful for all help

Have you tried to set it at: Settings->Debugger->GDB/CDB Debugger->Default->Executable path ?

p.s. stating the version of CB/OS/Compiler could be helpful most of the time...

Thanks
 I uninstalled the version I had downloaded 'codeblocks-12.11-setup.exe' and downloaded
'codeblocks-12.11mingw-setup.exe' instead and now there is no problem with Debugging.
I see what you mean about beeing more specific and will be so in the future.
Is 'codeblocks-12.11-setup.exe' some sort of stripped version for experienced users?

Yes, it doesn't include a compiler/debugger. Read more carefully what is written on the download page, it is there, but someone has to read it.
