pocoloco:
When I try to run the debugger I get this error:

--- Code: ---Starting the debuggee failed: No executable specified, use `target exec'
--- End code ---

I have been struggling with this for hours now.

I have removed any spaces from my project name.
I have tried downloading a different mingw version from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/mingw-w64/

I have the codeblocks-20.03mingw-setup.exe version installed.
I have Windows 10 64bit.

This is the log I get:

Can you share your project file?
Is C:\as\asdf\bin\Debug\asdf.exe present?
Have you changed something in the project settings?

Just to be safe I created a new project with just the sample "Hello world" code.

Here is the project file

--- Code: ---<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<CodeBlocks_project_file>
<FileVersion major="1" minor="6" />
<Project>
<Option title="sample" />
<Option pch_mode="2" />
<Option compiler="gcc" />

<Option object_output="obj/Debug/" />
<Option type="1" />
<Option compiler="gcc" />
<Compiler>
<Add option="-g" />
</Compiler>
</Target>
<Target title="Release">
<Option output="bin/Release/sample" prefix_auto="1" extension_auto="1" />
<Option object_output="obj/Release/" />
<Option type="1" />

</CodeBlocks_project_file>

- Yes the file "C:\sample\bin\Debug\sample.exe" exists

- I have not changed anything in the project settings. It's the default new project.

I just installed the 32-bit version and I get the same error.

BlueHazzard:
Can you enable full debug logging in "Settings->Debugger->Common->full debug log" and post the debug log again here?

ps. thank you for posting the log from the beginning :)
