Title: Debugger not working
Post by: Zorerks on April 16, 2025, 03:50:56 am

Hello! I've been struggling with this issue for a whole afternoon, tried countless ways of fixing it and no luck. I even reinstalled Code::Blocks (I'm using the latest 25.03 version).
Over on the Debugger settings, the path to gbd.exe is correct, the compiler settings have the (-g) setting tickled off, there doesn't seem to be any " " (blank spaces) over the directory... I really have no idea. For a little context, I'm dealing with a .h and .c file, both serving as a static library for my main.c, but the debugger just isn't working anywhere. I don't know what to do. Here's the log it's been giving me:

The debugger does not believe that "E:/Topicos/TestVector/bin/Debug/TestVector.exe" was ever created.

Code

debug]E:/Topicos/TestVector/bin/Debug/TestVector.exe: No such file or directory.

Check the location of the executable output file. Look at the compiles output location in the Build Log tab. It should look something like this: "Output file is ..<your output exe name> with size <size of the executable> MB"

Hi, I do not know if this is your problem, but note that on Windows

Code

E:/Topicos/TestVector

is not the same as

Code

E:\Topicos\TestVector
