Re: [Dev-C++] Debugging with 4.9.4.1

[Mac R. <re...@no...>]

I hate to ask again, but I'm about to get sent off on a business trip and I
would like to play with Dev-C++ during some of the sleepless hours between
the end of official business and when I am able to get to sleep.

Why don't breakpoints seem to work in 4.9.4.1?  I have turned on debugging
myself (first project), and I have also allowed the IDE to turn on
debugging and rebuild (second project, when I pressed Debug on a
non-debuggable build).  I get exactly the same results in both cases.  In
both cases, the breakpoints are claimed to be invalid, and the debugger
terminates the program.
