Debugging with C::B

Hi,

Please help a newbe. I am not just a newbe C::B user, but also relatively new to programming - being a die hard hardware guy who eventually realized some need for occasional coding. So, have a mercy, don’t lash me out to hard.

I have used C::B 1.0rc2 for few weeks initially, and tonight moved to the nightly build Feb. 11 2007 – wx2.6.3 (Windows, Unicode), which appeared to be a huge step forward.
Though, I have a problem debugging my code which I didn’t have on the 1.0rc2. When I set a break point, and start the debugger, nothing really happens. It doesn’t even open a console widow (my code is a console application).
Debugger messages:

I suspect some sort of installation problem, but don’t know where to look.
Appreciate your help. Thanks,

   Would you state your CodeBlocks and compiler version, and your Operating System.
   Also state  your wxWidgets version if you're using one.

If you're running linux, the debugger does not yet provided a console for a console application. There is a patch pending for this however. Maybe it'll be applied sometime soon.

For the time being, you can use a program called "cgdb" to debug your linux console app. If you're running ubuntu, synaptic will install it for you.
Else google it.

Would you look at the following, try it, and tell us where it fails for you.

Biplab:
In brief, it works. I see the Console.

Using C::B Rev 3589, Win XP SP2, GCC-3.4.5, GDB-6.3. I'm posting a log. The program has 3 variables. 2 stores some predefined values and 3rd one stores sum of others.

It's a simple Console app.  :)
