hi, I've been trying to enable the debugging feature on Dev-C++ to no avail. What I've done is what the online FAQ said to do: Tools->Compiler Options->Settings->Linker and set "Generate Debugging Information" to "Yes". Then I rebuilt my project. Debugging still doesn't seem to work. To those who have used Dev-C++ before what else do I need to do? Thanks, Joe

What exactly do you mean by debugging doesn't work?

When I set a breakpoint, and run the program in debug mode it runs over the breakpoint, where I know the code is being run, and I can't step through my program.

There is a bug report for the current version explaining that debugging is broken(unless you put it there). I too cant get it to work so perhaps downgrading to 4.9.9.0 might work. If you dont want to do that then I would advise that you try getting the Insight debugger package from their website or the updater.

thanks,
sounds like downgrading might best.
