Using GDB debugger ...

(1/2) > >>

rjhover50:
I've installed Free Pascal 2.6.4 and am trying to use the text based IDE. I can't figure out how to setup the debugger. GDB is installed. I just don't know where to configure the FreePascal IDE to use it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rich

In FPC 2.6.4, GDB is built in the IDE. No need to setup external GDB for debugging.

rjhover50:
Thanks for the reply.

I thought that that was the case, but keep getting an error message telling me:

    "No debugger support available"

So, I figured that the IDE was looking for an external install of GDB. I'm running on Ubuntu Mate 14.04. Not sure if that makes a difference, but thought I would mention it.

Thanks,
Rich

On another board I found someone who said that the textmode ide cannot use the debugger.

Is that correct?

If not, is there a config fiile I can access to put in the config info so I can get the IDE to see GDB?

This message says that the IDE is not built with debugger support. You can't do anything to it. If you want one, rebuild from source with proper libgdb.a (2.6.4 doesn't have external GDB support).
