Debug Crashes Lazarus

[criageek]

Hi all -

New to Lazarus, very experienced with Delphi.  When I set the debugger to gdb in the Debugger Options dialog and try to run my application, Lazarus dies.  I mean it completely goes away.  Any ideas why this happens?  I'm using Ubuntu 6.10 in Linux kernel 2.6.19.3.

Thanks,
Rich

Hard to tell.

Can you start Lazarus in a console and show the console output here?

[criageek]

OK...I'll try tonight...I'm at work now.

Thanks,
Rich

[criageek]

OK...here's what it looks like.  This is from the time I clicked "Run".

That is a difficult error. :-(

Does the compiled executable run without debugger outside Lazarus?

[criageek]

I'll try it tonight...thanks for the input Vincent!  By the way, could you move to the states so we would be in the same time zone?  LOL

No, but you could try to get up earlier. ;-)

Yes, it executes exactly as is does in the IDE.

[Vincent Snijders]

I am sorry, this is going to be an dead end for me. I don't know what causes the Lazarus crash.

OK...thanks for trying Vincent.

I got it!!

some notes:
* got Ubuntu 6.10 amd64 (shouldn't matter)
* built fpc 2.0.4 myself
* built lazarus myself
... blah that's it.

solution:
* Go to "Environment" -> Debugger Options
* Choose "GNU debugger (gdb)"
* Path *should* be: /usr/bin/gdb

Now try to execute your programs - worked for me!

Also check your programme's paths and so on.

Wow my first post and I solved a big prob like this

Regards!

Outstanding!  A very easy fix...thanks bmhm!  All I had to do was set the path to /usr/bin/gdb...I had it set to usr/bin before.

Thanks!

Well yeah, the most annoying thing is still that the debian packages are not suitable for amd64 systems

Anyway, glad to be able to help. PS: I'm German, Vincent is from NL... the person being in the "wrong" time zone is YOU ;-) *just kiddin*

PS: Another thing I'd like to mention: People won't think it's a debugger's error. I just pressed F9 and wondered why lazarus crashed. I'd never thought of this until I "accidentally" read this thread ;-)

[Vincent Snijders]

Can one of you create a bug report. I think a check is missing on an existing debugger executable.

I had a chance to go to Germany last year when our company installed SAP software in our German facility, but I'm not much of a traveller, so I didn't go.  It would have been nice to see my grandfather's birthplace, which was near our facility.

Done!
