--- Quote ---When placing the cursor in the "Other linker options" area, the cursor is jumping to the middle of the box. Starting to type "/DEBUG" makes it jump to the left again and allows me to type in this linker option.

However, after pressing the "OK" button and re-opening the compiler settings, the linker option is gone (the compiler option on the contrary remains, so this one is apparently saved).

Yes, libraries are files so you can select them through a file dialog, hence the buttons.

Other linker options are free-text so that you can use options C::B doesn't currently provide.
Anyway, I tried here to add /DEBUG in other linker options and it works fine. Yes, you may not see it there the next time you enter the dialog because this option is recognized by C::B. It's under the name "Produce debugging symbols" in compiler options. Try unchecking that option and checking it again.
The point is that unless /DEBUG is passed to the linker, debugging won't work.

--- Quote ---There's also still a warning for the compiler "ignoring unknown option '-g'"

Remove that option. It's left there from when your project used GCC as compiler (when created).

Unless I explicitely activate the checkbox next to "Produce debugging symbols", I don't see the /DEBUG linker option when compiling my app (console app in C). Adding /DEBUG in the "Other linker options" and as a result the checkbox mentioned beforehand is checked, simply doesn't work in my case...

Anyway, even when I check this checkbox, it still doesn't solve my debug problem.

This is the output of the compilation:

-------------- Build: Debug in ConApp ---------------
cl.exe /nologo /W3 /Zi /D_DEBUG /DDEBUG /DDEBUG /ID:\WinApps\Programming\PlatformSDK\include /I"D:\WinApps\Programming\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include" /c main.c /Foobj\Debug\main.obj
main.c
link.exe /nologo /LIBPATH:D:\WinApps\Programming\PlatformSDK\lib /LIBPATH:"D:\WinApps\Programming\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\lib" /out:.\ConApp.exe obj\Debug\main.obj /DEBUG
Process terminated with status 0 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings
You see the /DEBUG option at the end of the linker syntax, but it's only there because I checked the checkbox, not because I've added it in the "Other linker option" section.

This is the output of the debugger (not much of improvement):

Done. Warning is gone, as can be seen when looking to the compiler output generated.

This is the debugger output I get when building a WinGui app from the template:

But here, I must say it works, despite the ERROR message I see...

Best rgds,

This error message appears because you don't have the debug symbols of various system DLLs. Get used to it ;).
