Using Code::Blocks 13.12 - Mac OS 10.11
New to code. Know very little. Please have mercy on me.
Upon trying to debug a simple program code::blocks reads "ERROR: You need to specify a debugger program in the debuggers's settings." Upon trying to do that via settings -> debugger ->... I have found the field in which to enter the .exe. Popup tells me .exe cannot be found on filesystem.
So I'm pretty sure I need to acquire a GNU debugger - or download a version of code::blocks that has it. Am I wrong already?
A google search generated some advise for installing a GNU debugger with directions, unfortunately, too complex for me to execute at this time; steps like, "decompress gdb-6.6.tar.gz and extract the source files from the archive. Once the files have finished extracting, change your working directory to the gdb-6.6 directory that was automatically created in your build directory."
I'll be needing something more straightforward to proceed tripping my way through my basic C++ program. Any resources or advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
