Debug problem on Windows

[TSalm]

Hi,

I'm using C::B with :
- Windows Vista (please no comment thanks )
- MinGW with g++ version 3.4.2
- gdb 5.2.1

I compile my project with the `-g` option.

When I launch the debugguer, it send the message : no debugging symbols found

here is the log :

I'm not sure if this is the cause of your problem, but as per this page in the Wiki, GDB 6.3-2 is the recommended version to use with Code::Blocks.

Also check if you have "Strip all symbols from binary" selected. That option will remove all symbols even when using -g option.

Oups,
Indeed, the option "Stop all symbols from binary" was selected...
now it seems to run smoothly,

I'll look for GDB 6.3-2 to avoid any other problem.

thanks to byo and TDragon.
