Can you run those command under Windows Console in WinXP?

May be the good question is where did you set gdb is ?
In your PATH :

Code

Set variable: PATH=.;C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin

and in starting debugger you have :

Code

Starting debugger: C:\Codeblocks\MINGW\bin\gdb.exe

so : C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin or C:\Codeblocks\MINGW\bin ?

verify the tools path in your compiller configuration.
