How do I use the mingw64 gdb debugger?

<< < (2/2)

BlueHazzard:
this is the build log, not the debugger log

you have to start the debugger and then copy the text from the debugger tab  from the bottom of the window

I discovered the cause, due to wrong debugger setting, should be using X:\mingw64\bin\gdb.exe
However, I wonder can I designate different debuggers to different compilers?
Thanks
Jack

oBFusCATed:
Yes, you can.

Steps:
1. Make two or more configs
2. In the toolchain settings of the compiler choose the proper config for every compiler
3. Select Debug-> Active debugger -> Target's default
