Not sure the debugger from borland c 5.5 is supported.
As far I can remember, borland c 5.5 is just a compiler package, not include a debugger.

I suggest you use MinGW instead.

A year ago I faced the same challenge, and spent some time digging.

The closest I came to a solution is by searching for "Turbo Debugger", but I think there is a far way to have something working from codeblocks with that.

Since I have only used MinGW and Microsoft for that exact reason.

Ollydbg (http://www.ollydbg.de/) understands borland debugging format.  On the plus side it is a real debugger.
