how do I get the debugger to even work?
« on: December 22, 2013, 11:28:05 pm »
I just install Code::Blocks and I have a C program in it and I need to step through it, but when I look at the menu bar under debugging all I have are the options for debugging windows and the other two under it. I am using GCC so I guess GDB is my debugger and I am like I have no idea what to do new to this, like a naked baby in the woods lost.

I selected the options in to put debugging into the code, other then that it is the standard install.
how do I get the debugger to work, or is it because it is a C program and not a C++ it is not working?
