Re: [Dev-C++] Insight Debugger questions

Hi again,
 
Are you on a Windows or Linux platform?  I believe that the the *.tar.bz2 is for Linux and most probably will not work on Windows platforms.  Anybody out there that knows different, please correct me.  Looking at the tarball from ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/gdb/releases/ shows that it doesn't contain the executable and must therefore be built!  Can't help there, as I have only used the Insight_Binary.DevPack.
 
Here's my recommendation.  Start Dev-Cpp, and proceed to Tools --> Check for Updates/Packages...
 
On the WebUpdate window that pops up depress the Check for Updates button.  You may be asked to download the mirrors list.  Do so and re-start the WebUpdate window.  If that happens, again press the Check for Updates button.  Scrolling about 1/3 of the way down, find Insight_Binary and check that package. Depress Download Selected, and follow the prompts.  This is the method that works for the Windows platform.
 
I can't report on it's Linux compatibility, as I don't have access to a Linux platform.
 
Hope this helps!
 
Sincerely,
 
Al

Hi,
 
I assume that by 'downloaded' you mean the package, Insight_Binary.DevPak.  If you did that, then you must install it via the package manager, Packman.exe.  Other than that, all that would cause a can't find *.exe is a path problem. Also look in the package manager to insure that GDB is an installed package.  
 
Packages installed via the package manager should install and work correctly, as opposed to compiling your own package from the sources.  If you compiled Insight from the sources, then you may have to manually move things around to get them into the proper folders.

Hello All,
 
   I have just downloaded Insight Debugger yesterday and I can't get it to work. I am using Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2.When i try to debug, an error occurs(something like "can't find gdb.exe").What went wrong?
