Debugger executable not set problem
Lord Yu:
Hi all,
I'm unfamiliar with MinGW debugger :( , when I go to debug I get an debugger executable not set error, so I go to the settings/configure plugins/compiler :?.
If it is a debugging problem should I go to the GDB debugger instead, if so what are the debugging commands?
Thanks

Go to "Settings->Compiler->Programs" and make sure "Debugger" is set to "gdb.exe".
gdb.exe must exist in the configured "Compiler's installation directory", in the "bin/" subdir.

Same problem here. The code compiles (MingW) but the debugger claims 'The debuger executable is not set'. Settings are ok (otherwise it wouldn`t compile). Maybe it's a problem specific to Win98. :?

Maybe it has something to do with this:

Debugging with Code::Blocks-MinGW bundle under Windows 98/ME will not work out of the box for you. This is because we 've updated the included GDB to version 6.3 which works on NT-class machines only (NT/2000/XP/2003).
All is not lost however. You can go to the MinGW site and download an older GDB version which works for Windows 98/ME. Code::Blocks will happily use it, as long as you install it in the Code::Blocks installation folder ;)

Do you use C::B with MinGW bundle?

gdb --v shows:
GNU gdb 5.2.1
Shall I copy gdb.exe to the Code::Blocks installation folder? Sounds strange ... :?
