How to use GDB on Windows XP?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Leviathan569:
Ok, now I've downloaded and installed Code::Blocks with MinGW and GDB and it STILL doesn't work. I keep getting the same error message: debugger executable not set.



These are the compiler settings. I believe everything is set correctly.



Do I have to adjust any other settings or what?

TDragon:
Verify that the file "C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\bin\gdb.exe" exists. If it doesn't, change the path accordingly. If it does, try uninstalling CodeBlocks and reinstalling it to a path without any spaces. (This shouldn't be the issue, but it's worth a shot.)

The error message isn't entirely accurate; it also appears when the debugger executable can't be found.

Leviathan569:
The debugger path is correct. I've tried installing it on a path without any spaces, without result. I still can't get the debugger to work and I keep getting the same stinking error message.

Leviathan569:
Here's something I would like to try. Can someone who got the debugger to work on a Windows XP system do the following:

- go to settings/import-export configuration
- uncheck everything but GDB debugger
- export the settings
- mail the file to leviathan569 (at) hotmail (insert a dot here) com

Maybe I can get it to work by importing the settings.

Erm, you do know that the troubleshooting forum is publicly accessible without requiring you to login?
Just so you are aware that even the most stupid spambot will collect your address if you post it here (maybe you want to edit your above post? ;))
