Hi: This is my first time using code::blocks. I'm migrating from Dev-C++. First of all, I just want to say this distribution is better than Dev! Good work people. On to my problem: I'm new to installing IDE's, so please bear with me.
These are the steps that I took:
Installed the official release with the MingW compiler
Found out that when debugging, the message "debugging information not found, blah..." error
Searched for a while in the forums for solution and did the following:
Downloaded the latest nightly build (today).
Unzipped it on top of the old installation.
Made sure the "produce debugging symbols" box is checked.
I made a new user variable "codeblock" and its value is "c:\programfiles\codeblocks\bin"
I also added the path to the system variable "Path"
The darn thing would not work and gives me the debugger output:
Selecting target: default
Compiling: done
Adding source dir: D:\Docs\GradSchool\Research\EngineControl\MineInCppCodeBlock\
Adding source dir: D:\Docs\GradSchool\Research\EngineControl\MineInCppCodeBlock\
Adding file: MineInCppCodeBlock.exe
Starting debugger: done
Registered new type: wxString
Registered new type: STL String
Registered new type: STL Vector
Setting breakpoints
Debugger name and version: GNU gdb 6.3
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
Program exited normally.
Debugger finished with status 0
Does anyone know whats going on? Am I not supposed to unzip over the old installation? I'm baffled. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
