Thanks so far you all for your answers!
I think i have to try my luck somewhere else.

For what it's worth, I've just gone through the pain of getting gdb back up and running with Lazarus after updating xcode to 5, and OSX to Mountain Lion.

The instructions at
http://emacsclub.github.io/html/gdb_mountainlion.html
were very helpful, but sadly not fully functional (at least for me).

What I did:
installed homebrew with:

Code: [Select]

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"and then

Code: [Select]

brew doctor
The next instruction on the above page failed, but I found the following worked:

Code: [Select]

brew install homebrew/dupes/gdb
then I simply needed to follow the codesign instructions at
https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/BuildingOnDarwin#Creating_a_certificate

In lazarus, Tools | Options | Debugger | General, you need to set the path correctly (/usr/local/bin/gdb in my case).

Now I can run a program under the debugger, but it doesn't seem to set any of the breakpoints, but that's another matter...

Hope this helps.

For ability to set breakpoints:

It Menu > "Project" > "Project Options", debugging:
try either stabs or dwarf2 (with godwarfset)

If neither works, produce and attach a log:

It Menu > "Project" > "Project Options", debugging:
try either stabs or dwarf2 (with godwarfset)

It was already on stabs, which wasn't working for me.
Changing to "Dwarf with sets (-gw -godwarfsets)" worked for me.

Many thanks.

I have Mavericks installed and was able to setup debugging using macports:

curl https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.2.1-10.9-Mavericks.pkg -o macports.pkg
sudo installer -pkg macports.pkg -target /
sudo port install gdb

The debugger will then be located at:

/opt/local/bin/ggdb

You will need to sign ggdb using the setups provided here:

http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/lldb/lldb-69/docs/code-signing.txt

Substitute ggdb for lldb and it should work.

Hi sysrpl,

I've been trying to install gdb on Mavericks and followed your instructions

for the first two lines of commands, it downloads and installs macports successfully at base path /
however when I type the line:

sudo port install gdb

I receive the message:

sudo: port: command not found

Any help in getting this working would be gratefully received.

change directories into the macports folder than run it:

cd /opt/local/bin

Then follow my saga getting it working...
