I've compiled successfully using -g at the compile and again at the link stage. I have no problems making a debuggable
executable, but when I run it after setting it up to Run in the Debug menu, the system just hangs. I can't get it to run
properly. Is there a way I can check on whether or not it's a lack of something, like gdb or whatever. I have been compiling
my program in Geany for a long time but this is the first I even thought of debugging inside the IDE. Perhaps I should
try to get gdb up and running first and do the debugging via the terminal. I'll try that while I'm waiting for an answer and
that will also verify that I have a working gdb. So I'm compiling with:
g++ -g -Wall -c "%f" and building with g++ -g -Wall -o "%e" "%f".
In the meantime, I'll see if I can debug with a command-line approach to see if gdb is installed. Then the question would be
how can I install gdb if it isn't. I have forgotten or never knew a lot about Fatdog - this is an older installation of Fatdog but it
still does the trick for many things that I do, so I want to keep going even though I have a laptop and a couple other machines
that have more modern versions of Linux. I like having my Fatdog machine do the same as I can do on those machines if at all
possible since it's my favorite machine of the bunch, and since it is not tied to other projects that I might need those machines for.
I also try to program on my cellphone when possible although not with Geany.
Any help or useful comments appreciated, in the meantime, I'll try to use gdb.
