Installation Guide: Debugger GDB/MI Plugin
A CodeBlocks plugin using the machine interface of the GDB debugger.

Source is available at github Source
Preparation

• Clone or download a zip
• Cloning creates a folder named debugger_gdbmi
• A zip file needs to be unzipped in a 'debugger_gdbmi' folder.

.cbp files included:

• debugger_gdbmi_wx32_64WK - compiles to the currently active src\devel_32_64 folder.
  
• debugger_gdbmi_wx32_64      - compiles to ..\..\..\devel32_64
          (use only when debugger_gdbmi resides within the contrib workspace.
• debugger_gdbmi_wx32_64Nly - compiles to $(#cb)\devel32_64
          (CodeBlocks will ask you to define the global 'cb' macro to point to CodeBlocks source folder.
• Note: The other .cbp(s) are defined as if debugger_gdbmi resides within the contrib workspace.
           Move debugger_gdbmi into that workspace or modify the .cbp(s)

Installation

• Load and compile debugger_gdbmi with the desired .cbp
• Close CodeBlocks and run src/update32_64
• You should find debugger_gdbmi.dll in the src\output32_64\share\CodeBlocks\plugins folder
• You should find debugger.gdbmi.zip in the src\output32_64\share\CodeBlocks folder

Configuration

     After installation, restart CodeBlocks and go to Settings->Debugger->GDB/MI default

• Set the executable Path to your gdb.exe.
• Verify the other options meet your requirements.
• Click on the Ok button.

Usage
    Go to MainMenu->Debug->Active Debuggers and select GDB/MI default.

wouldn't we add it to our normal source tree, as a contrib plug-in ?

Yes, but I'm trying to determine if there is any interest in it.
I've found that adding a plugin to the contribs and especially updating autoMake is very painful and error prone.
I'd rather avoid the pain if there's no interest.
