Debugger Setup/es
Configure the IDE
Para ser capaces de depurar los proyectos, es necesario asegurarse de tener el IDE correctamente configurado.
Estas configuraciones no cambian normalmente. Lo habitual es que se configuren una sola vez después de instalar Lazarus o bien si se cambia o actualiza la instalación.
Open the Lazarus option dialog:
The image shows where to find the option dialog in Lazarus 0.9.31 and up. In previous versions the entry is in the "Environment" menu.
- Make sure that the option "GNU debugger (GDB)" is selected.
- The path to gdb.exe may differ:
- On Linux/Unix based systems it may be something like "/usr/bin/gdb" https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/
- On Windows it should be in a folder called "mingw\bin\" under the directory in which Lazarus is installed.
Project Options
In order to debug your project, you need to tell the IDE to compile it in a special way, which provides additional information required by the debugger.
Please note: This will considerably increase the size of your executable (See FAQ). If you want to build a release version of your software you should switch those settings off (see also Build Modes)
The required settings are made in the "Project Options" dialog:
- You must enable the "Generate Debug Info for GDB"
- You must not use any of the following
GDB Version
GDB 7.5 is not supported by Lazarus 1.0. It can be used with trunk only.
GDB 7.7.1 seems to work well with Lazarus 1.2.4.
