Can anybody help a beginner with the "No debugger support available" problem.
I have installed the gdb debugger. I have installed fpc-3.0.4.x86_64-linux from SourceForge and I see the same "No debugger support available problem" in both Debian and Ubunto installations.
If installing the source files, fpc-3.0.4-1.src.rpm the debugger is working, but then e.g. the Free Pascal RTL Printer Unit is not found.

Did you find a solution? Same problem here with fp 1.0.12, fpc 3.0.4 on Ubuntu 18.04...
-
FPC 3.0.4's IDE has the debugger internally, as a static library
If you get that message, the release was prepared without including the debugger.

Oh, this would be an answer... Although I installed the official Free Pascal Debian package from SourceForge, not the one provided by the distribution...

So which release should linux users download? I've never been able to get the debugger to work in the text ide, even when downloading the binary packages (not using deb or rpm).

hello,
read this thread (https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=40904.0)
and the last message from Moody :
Just to close this thread:
with svn checkout it works perfectly. ;D
Just do
Code: [Select]
svn checkout http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk fpc
cd fpc
make clean
make all
make install
Have fun with debugging within fp 8-) Hope that fpc-3.1.1 et.al. will be released soon.
With this, it is ok on Ubuntu 16.04 (see attachment)
Friendly, J.P

Thanks JP, finally it works. :D

trunk FPC uses cmdline gdb like Lazarus for platforms that can (read not dos and other ancient stuff)
This was known before 3.0.4, and it seemed the builders didn't want to invest effort in keeping the old solution compiling.
You could try the linux .tar 3.0.4 though, those are usually better than the debs (and maybe RPMs, but I haven't used RPM systems for years)

doesn't work either.
