Debugger does not work

[evstevemd]

Hi,
I use Codelite latest SVN (Selef compiled if you wish) but debugger have stopped working. I can start debugger but Next and other buttons don't work. I cannot then debug code. I don't know what went wrong!

[evstevemd]

I have uninstalled it and tried to install natty version but it doesn’t work also!
I forgot to add info:
Ubuntu Natty, wx29 (Compiled CL using 28 dev)
Thanks!

Hi,

It works for me, on natty using kde. Which DE/window manager are you using? If it's 'unity', does trying 'classic' make a difference? Is it just the toolbar that doesn't work, or do the menuitems and shortcut keys fail too?

I assume you have gdb installed, and are trying to debug a 'debug' build of your app, built against a debug build of wxGTK. What do you see in the output pane? And what do you see there after ticking 'Enable debugger full logging'?

Regards,

David

I use Gnome/Unity. I don't know when it stopped. I just cannot debug, even close files I have opened

I'm confused!
Re installing, delete all SVN and checkout and compile....nothing works. Compiling goes fine!

I use Gnome/Unity

I just tested CodeLite on unity; the only unusual thing about the installation is that it's a virtualbox guest. Debugging worked as it should :/ . Did you try changing from unity to 'classic'?

Please tick 'Enable debugger full logging' and report what is output in a debug session. Please try using the menuitems in the Debug menu e.g. 'Pause debugger' and 'Next'. Please try the keyboard shortcuts for 'Next' etc.

I recently upgraded to Unity as well, no problems here.

Please post the complete debugger log:

cannot see where to get the logs. Already enabled them in settings!

Installed previous version 2.8 from Ubuntu repo, run full debug logging and got this:

That's probably being caused by a gdb bug that's present in 7.2 and other recent gdb versions, and is known to affect wx programs.

I suggest that you build gdb from svn; I've not had this problem since doing so.

Hi,
SVN is no where to be found yet. I think they are still into cvs. Even that, Cvsed code didn't compile. so after few google shots I found latest snapshots here and ./configure && make && sudo make install worked great.
Now debugger is working as normal.
Great thanks to Dave and everybody else tried to help
