Switch to compiler that produces .pdb/coff debugging info (Visual C++ for example). Gcc doesn't support this king of debugging symbols.

danselmi:
For WinAVR: avr-objcopy and avr-objdump knows the target options "coff-avr" and "coff-ext-avr".
Try following as a post build step:

--- Code: ---avr-objcopy -O coff-avr -R .eeprom -R .eesafe $(TARGET_OUTPUT_FILE) $(TARGET_OUTPUT_FILE).coff

--- End code ---
(I have not tested the generated coff file!)

dirk_1980:
Why can't you just say das the ELF-File is the debug File and not the AVR-Studio Burner ELF File?

Same name for 2 types of files.

EDIT:
@ danselmi
Were must i write your code in C::B to test it?
