Debug failed

(1/1)

bdrmachine:
I gist started using Code Blocks and I don't know how to debug.  With a simple "C"  hello world console project on my win10 box, I tried to run debug by clicking on the red play arrow.  I get the following error:

"Starting debugger: C:\MinGW\bin\gdb.exe -nx -fullname -quiet  -args C:/My_Code_Blk/test11/bin/Debug/test11.exe
failed"

Any suggestions?

oBFusCATed:
Enable full debugger log and post it.

bdrmachine:
Not sure how to enable full debugging log but this is the full-text listing in debugger tab.

Active debugger config: GDB/CDB debugger:Default

BlueHazzard:
You enable Full debug logging with
Settings->Debugger->Common->Full (Debug) log

Does the path " C:\MinGW\bin\gdb.exe" exists?
Does "C:/My_Code_Blk/test11/bin/Debug/test11.exe" exists?

francoromano:
The first time I started Codeblock I got the message "starting debug ... failed".
In the menu
"Settings
Debugger ...
Default ":
the field
executable path was empty.

I solved it by entering the correct path of gdb.exe. In my case C: \ Program Files \ CodeBlocks \ MinGW \ bin \ gdb.exe
Now debugging starts correctly
