CodeLite Failed to locate gdb

[Pecan]

I cannot figure out why CodeLite cannot find gdb.exe event when I navigate to it via the debugger dialog.



When CodeLite is sitting at c:\usr\proj\CodeLite\CodeLite.exe, I get the error message.(version 2847)

If I execute from c:\user\programs\CodeLite\CodeLite.exe I do *not* get the message.(version 2785)



Windows XP SP2, CodeLite 2847

What am I missing here?
Path is

Thanks in advance

Hi Pecan!

The message 'Failed to locate the ...' is coming from a source file named exelocator.cpp, which uses the 'which' command to locate an executabled. I suspect that you have another version of which.exe on your machine which produces a different output than the one codelite expects.

When you open a CMD.EXE and type 'which gdb' - what is the output that you receive?

Note: codelite installs a which.exe at the installation directory

That's it. I had which.exe version 2.4 in the path ahead of CodeLite which.exe version 2.16.

Also, I added a fix to the 'execlocator.cpp' file so in case a full path is provided, it will only check that the file actually exists rather then using the WHICH command ( not committed yet )
