GDB, abbreviated for GNU debugger and named gdb as an executable file, is the standard debugger for the GNU operating system and most other platforms including Linux, BSD, Mac OS X and Windows. Lazarus uses GDB as default debugger.
GDB is not a part of Lazarus. Unless you are using Windows or Mac OS X with Xcode, you have to install it yourself before using it. After installation it will be necessary to set the path to gdb (for example /usr/bin/gdb) in Lazarus' debugger settings.
