New install of laz and fpc problem(Closed)

[JLWest]

I installed LAZ and fpc.

How do I get the debugger to work or configured?

Thanks

If you installed Lazarus using the official installer, the debugger should be set up.
You can go to Tools->Options to check the debugger setup (or chose another debugger).

@Bart

I just downloaded lazarus-2.2.2-fpc-3.2.2-win64.exe and ran it. About to redo it.

[JLWest]

I still can't get a debugger working.

What do I do under tools?
The only thing I see maybe is configure external tools.

[Bart]

MEnu->Tools: first entry is "Options", this opens a dialog.
In the left panel select Debugger (almost at the bottom, you need to scroll).
See: https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Debugger_Setup

Bart, you are most likely older than I however, you are much faster than I!

Her are two forms under options.

They are a little bit out of date 2011 so it's hard to tell if I'm setup correctly. Have to assume it is.

[JLWest]

ok If I go to another project the debugger is working. It just in this one project it isn't.
The project options are setup the same.

Don't understand this. Maybe start a new project and see if it works in the new project.

Maybe you are using a mode for that project that does not involve the debugger ?

Project->Options->Debugging

Will show you the debugger settings for this project and this mode. Normally, you would turn all the debugging things off for a release mode.  To use the debugger, as a bare minimum, you would have "generate info for debugger..." and, iMHO, Heaptrc ticked.

Thanks All.

I couldn't get it to work so I copied out the pas file, deleted the project and started an new project. The debugger worked in the new project.

That's it, open a new can of paint and just throw it all on the wall, you can't go wrong there!

It worked for Jackson Pollack...
