How to use the debugger ?

[Didier69]

Hi,

I'm under windows xp with C::B nightly build of the 05 October 2006. I use mingw and I have installed gdb. I would like to use breakpoints in C::B. I have registered two breakpoints and here is the errors I have:

Code Select Expand


Building to ensure sources are up-to-date

Debugger name and version: GNU gdb 5.2.1

No source file named C:/DOCUME~1/dbretin/MESDOC~1/CBPROJ~1/LITTLE~1/src/dirlist/cdirlist.cpp.
Program exited with code 03.
Debugger finished with status 0


The application is launched then stopped at the end. It doesn't stop at my breakpoints.

Did I forget something ?

Regards.

That's it

Use gdb 6.3 and you will be fine.

Thanks a lot. I searched in the forum, but not in the wiki . Is the user documentation uptodate ?

Regards.

Hmmm... I am not aware of any documentation to the debugger at all

The WiKi page I linked to is the page that lists all the downloads from Sourceforge to install a recent, working system (including compiler, debugger, and almost every other tool you'll need). That page is always held up to date (checked bi-weekly).

Help Wanted!
One issue!
First ,please forgive my poor English,it may make it a little difficult to get my words.
When I finished my code words,I try to use the Step Over to debug it line to line,but it didn't work as usual.And it show that the debugging was over.I don't know how to set it back.I guess there is something  I don't know got changed.
I am eager to your help!

Use "Next line", not "Step over".
