Searching the web shows that this is not a new problem but I haven't found a solution that works for me. This is a new installation of codeblocks and I'm trying to get the debugger to work with a simple Hello World project. Likely I've configured something wrong. Debug window dump follows:

Active debugger config: GDB/CDB debugger:Default

Setting breakpoints
Debugger name and version: GNU gdb (GDB) 8.1
Starting the debuggee failed: No executable specified, use `target exec'.
Debugger finished with status 0

Any assistance is appreciated.

Miguel Gimenez:
Remove the spaces from the "C Sample Files" folder.

That solved it, thank you! I knew it was something simple I was missing.
