setting up minGW to debugger

[2Eric]

sorry if I jumped the gun and did not do a search for this request

I just spent all morning doing nothing, I had code::block set up on windows XP and it worked great but it got a virus and that is the end of that.
I am just trying set it up on windows 7, I just spent the last 1/4 hor installing minGW but can find the path name to set up for debugger
 
settings => debugger => default => executable path.

Sorry to be a worry, maybe I just installed the wrong program

This is the path to where your gdb.exe is located on your file system.
Use a tool for searching it to find it.

yes you are right but I can not find where it is to get the path.

Now it says zlib1.dll is missing and can not start.

[oBFusCATed]

Try to start it from command line to verify that your installation really works.
If it doesn't search the internet for details how to get it work.

never mind I have deleted it now I will use something else, a pity in way I enjoyed  using it on windows XP do not reply I will not be back here again.

Your loss.  The less you know about Operating Systems, the harder it is to use them.

This is good information - I ran GDB.EXE from the command line and received a message back regarding version and other information . I am assuming when this program is run within Code Blocks - I will get the errors as encountered.
