Installation of GDB
« on: March 19, 2010, 05:07:13 pm »
Hi

I have installed CodeBlocks 8.02 and MinGW on Vista. I installed MinGW with the automated installer.

Now I tried to use the debugger but it seems that I haven't installed it yet. And I don't know how to do this, is there an automatic installer for GDB, too?

And one other question: At the Toolchain Executables I have as the Make program: make.exe. But I can't find this in the MinGW folder, only mingw32-make.exe. Must I change this? Until now I had no problems with this.

Regards,
Sechem

Have you tried to download the last versionof Codeblocks ?

http://http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/26


It includes a compiler and debugger. Download the "codeblocks-10.05mingw-setup.exe" package, and everything will be installed (Codeblocks + GCC + GDB)

Don't use that, use 10.05 with the included compiler. The compiler in 8.02 is known to be broken on Vista/7...
