Hello,

You should give some further information as OS, C::B revision, compiler used, and so on.

Anyway, did you build with e.g., the -g flag (MinGW compiler)? See under Project-->Build options.

Best wishes,
Michael

PS.: You can search in the forum for useful thread/post .

I'm using WINXP, codeblocks-1.0rc2_mingw.exe, GNU GCC compiler, now have turned on -g flag. Still have same effect. Also messages box has line like this; "No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.".
(I hope to have something (debugging) like visual c++)

I have file dbg_x86_6.6.03.5.exe but i dont know how to use it C::B if it must be used. It's Debugging Tools for Windows. But I can't redirect this for debugger through Settings->Compiler->Proggrams->Debugger, even if I add additional path.

Hello,

I would advice you to remove RC2 and download the latest nightly build. Download and install MinGW (installer 5.0.2, chose canditade) and gdb from www.mingw.org.

All I have now are:

wxmsw26u_gcc_cb.dll (this should be nightly build)
gdb-6.5/...
MinGW/...

how should i put it into one piece? Because i have not knowledge in compilers and debuggers.

gdb-6.5/...

gdb 6.5 :?? AFAIK the last gdb available for MinGW is 6.3.2.

how should i put it into one piece? Because i have not knowledge in compilers and debuggers.

On how to use a nightly build, have a look at here:

You need to enable Produce debugging symbols (-g option).

Finally it works. I have set it (-g), restarted C::B lots of times. But now as I restarted PC it finally works.
