Set up debugger for TDM-GCC-64

[Fred]

Hello,
I installed TDM-GCC-64 and added the toolchain to the CodeLite compilers list.
CodeLite 5.4 on Windows 8.1 64bit.
Building works without problems.
But when I start debugging (F5), I get an error message:

Debugger ended with the following error string:
"No executable specified, use 'target exec'."

What should I do to get the 64bit gdb of TDM-GCC-64 working?

TIA,
Fred

Hello Eran,
thank you for your quick reply!

I activated full debugger logging.
I cannot access the debugger output tab to post it here, because when the error message box is open, I cannot change the tab to the output tab. And when I close the error message box with the error message, the debugger window with its tabs closes and I cannot see the output.

TDM-GCC-64 versions:

Go to Perspective->debug.layout

This will bring up the debug layout again

Thanks, Eran.

When the error message box is open, the debug output is:

Code: Select all

DEBUG>>00000009^error,msg="No executable specified, use 'target exec'."

This is the same message as the message box shows.

When I close the message box, the debug output changes to

Code: Select all

No executable specified, use 'target exec'.

Same message.

If I understand it correctly, it means, that the name of the debuggee is not sent to the debugger.
The debuggee path does not contain any unusual chars:
C:\tests\CodeLite\simple64\Debug\simple64.exe

Is it possible to use CodeLite (32bit I assume) with a 64bit debugger and debuggee (set breakpoints etc), at all?

TIA,
Fred

EDIT:
I found this posting:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1830 ... exec-error
I did not use MSVC, but I think, it may be that the wrong gdb.exe is invoked.
After renaming TDM-GCC-64 gdb.exe to gdbA.exe I got the same error messages as above. This means for me, that another gdb.exe has been invoked, which cannot work with my 64bit debuggee.

Then I set the gdb original name again and renamed the MinGW-4.8.1 gdb.exe.
Now I can debug my 64bit debuggee. Breakpoints etc. work.

But not the MinGW-4.8.1 debuggees (error in debug output: unknown signal), I have to use MinGW-4.8.1 gdb.exe for them.

So how can I tell CodeLite to use the debugger of TDM-GCC-64, when this toolchain is selected?
And the debugger of MinGW-4.8.1, when MinGW-4.8.1 toolchain is selected?

In the Build settings / Compiler I set the PATH environment variable to
C:\TDM-GCC-64\bin;%PATH%
but this seems not to select the gdb of this toolchain.

When the error message box is open, the debug output is:
CODE: SELECT ALL
DEBUG>>00000009^error,msg="No executable specified, use 'target exec'."

This is definitely not the entire log... (where is the invocation line? commands from 00000 - 00009) etc

Please paste here the _entire_ log output, do not truncate the logs.
I can't stress this enough...

This actually is the entire log.
EDIT:
No I was wrong.
Here is it:

Imo this is not the TDM gdb.exe, but MinGWs.
The TDM says:
