Title: Debugging in CodeBlock
Post by: puneet_m on August 23, 2007, 11:15:31 pm

How do we debug in CodeBlock. I am using mingw gcc compiler. When I go to Debug->Start. It says go to Settings/Compiler and debugger, switch to programs tab and select the debugger program. But when I go over there, it does not show me any such option there?

Thanks

Over there debugger is set as gdb.exe. So what do I need to do so that I can use the debugger.

Thanks

1. Make sure you actually have the debugger installed.
2. Press the "Debug" button.

Well here you can download the debugger - http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435

The file that you should download is gdb-6.6.tar.bz2 and extract it to the bin directory where you have mingw installed.

Always visit http://mingw.org for all the tools concerning gcc for windows and to familiarize your self with the mingw/gcc building system.
