Title: Code::Blocks debugging problem
Post by: petroo on January 08, 2016, 08:01:54 pm

Hello fellow codeblocks users . I've got a problem i'm facing for several weeks and after trying multiple times to reinstall the IDE still can't overcome . Everytime when i create a project in codeblocks the debugging feature is available (clickable) (which is fine). The problem occurs when i close the IDE/project. The next time i load the project  codeblocks doesn't let me debug the program once again.

What do you mean by doesn't let me debug the program?
The menu is greyed out, there are errors?
What kind of project you've created?

Do you have a project opened?
The menu is greyed out when there is no project opened.
Can you show me a screenshot?

What do you understand as a project?
main.c is not a project in C::B's terms.
You create a project by going to File -> New -> Project.
If you don't have a project file opened you won't be able to debug.

That's the way i did it. I've created an entire project in Code::blocks just the way you've described it.

Another aspect is that the debug pannel "remains colored"(by which i understand it works) for like 2-3 seconds after I open any project , then it turns off.

In your screenshot you have not opened the project, only the c file. The debugger can't work if you don't use a project...
[Edit:]If you reopen codeblocks you have to load the *.cbp file not the .c file
If you have done it correctly you will see the project on the left site under "worspace". From there you can open your c file
