[SOLVED] GDB in Windows

[TurboRascal]

I currently have 0.9.30.2 installed on a windows box and I've noticed a strange thing recently - I've been unable to pause the program or step through it. Then I checked Debugger in Environment Options and it's set to "no debugger", and when I tried to set it to GDB, I've found out there is no GDB installed in the fpc + toolchain bin directory under Lazarus, so I guess it's not included.

However, I'd swear I've been able to pause/step before, and I never installed GDB, however I might be mistaken...

I'd like to confirm if there really should be no GDB included with Lazarus, and has it been included before... And in the case there is no GDB distributed here, which GDB should I install? I have mingw installed (currently an older version though), shall I use GDB from it?

It should be included, but I haven't checked the 0.9.30.2 installer if it is indeed complete.

Look for a folder called mingw in the lazarus directory.

It can be downloaded here in case: http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/binaries/i386-win32/gdb/bin
(libraries go into the same folder as the exe)

Thanks, I completely forgot it was in a different directory than the other tools

I wonder why its path disappeared from Environment Options though...
