How do I use the debugger?

[Thoerin]

I am running the Feb. 6 build on Ubuntu 7.10, using gcc and gdb.

All the debugger options under Debug (most importantly Start) are grayed out.

How do I enable them?

Thanks in advance.

If they're greyed out, you either don't have a debugger at all (did you download/install one?), or you haven't properly configured it.

Look in your compiler options under the executable section (where you set the compiler and linker, too), and make sure the debugger is configured there.

I would guess the OP didn't create/open a project...

Thank you mandrav

I didn't know it was not possible just to debug a cpp file.
Putting it in a new project enabled the debugger options
