debugger -> "The program is not being run."

(1/2) > >>

alle_meije:
Hi, I have a program (very ambitiously) called fastSVM, which depends on 2 other projects:

fastSVM <- libPMT <- libFFTW

I have compiled the Debug builds of these projects (from left to right),
all with Build Options -> Compiler settings -> Compiler flags

[v] Produce debugging symbols [-g]
[ ]
[ ]
[ ]
[v] Enable all compiler warnings (override most other settings) [-Wall]
[ ]
...

-- those two are ticked, and no other.

When I debug with a breakpoint on the 1st line of the main program, the Debugger window says:

>>

Adding source dir: /esa/data-amwink/software/cpp/pmtprojects/fastSVM/

Setting breakpoints
Debugger name and version: GNU gdb (Ubuntu/Linaro 7.4-2012.04-0ubuntu2) 7.4-2012.04

But when I do 'next line' or 'step into' I immediately get

>>

Debugger finished with status 0

Do I need to change the setup of Code::Blocks? Do I need to install debugging packages (other than gdb)?
Not having used the debugger for a while (couple of months) it has changed from working to not working...

Happy to send more info if that's helpful.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Simple solution -> switch to the debug target, you're running the release one.

alle_meije:
Thanks for your quick reply. That sounds simple.

So for all projects I changed/confirmed " Project -> Properties -> Debugger -> Select target " to be " Debug "
Also, I did a "Clean workspace" for all Debug *and* Release targets, and only re-compiled the Debug targets.

The pull-down menu "Build target" is therefore set to "Debug" in all projects.

But when I start Debug, it still selects Release as the target...
Is there another place where this need to be selected?

Many thanks for your help

This is not needed...

What version of C::B are you using? How are you starting the debugger?

alle_meije:
I'm using Code::Blocks 10.05
(build: May 1 2011, 04:13:54 - wx2.8.11 (Linux, unicode) - 64 bit)

That's the latest one provided by Ubuntu as far as I know (10.05-2)

I just start the debugger via the menu, using [Debug/Continue], [Run to cursor] etc.
