CodeLite IDE

Hi All,

I am a first time user for Codelite (using version 16.0).
I have Conan based c++ project.

Using workspace settings I am able to run my executable using Codelite.
However when I try to debug using the same sttings it gives me this errors:

No executable file specified, use the file or exec-file command

However in the workspace settings, in the general tab I have specified the path to my executable. And that is why I am able to run the code.
But in debugging I am facing issues.
In Debug tab I have have specified the path to my gdb /usr/bin/gdb , and command in startup commands I have given the command too gdb ./build/bin/app ./test/console.js

How to solve this issue ?

My sytem information:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal

Ok solved it myself.
On codelite 16.0, go to Menubar > Debugger > Quick Debug

There in:

1. Set path to your GDB
2. Set path to your executable
3. runtime arguments you need to pass
4. Working directry path (the GDB will run in that path)

Hi,

Ok solved it myself

Well, not really. You just worked-around by using a different way to call gdb.

in Debug tab I have have specified the path to my gdb /usr/bin/gdb

Good.

and command in startup commands

I've never used that field, but (assuming you need to put anything at all there) I doubt if that's what you should have entered. In particular repeating 'gdb'; I suspect the command being run started with:
/usr/bin/gdb gdb...

What I've always done is to fill in the /path/to/gbg, as you've done. But I put the rest of the info in General: Debugging. And that's normally nothing, as CodeLite uses the binary in the Executable to Run / Debug field. If there are more parameters, add them to Debug Program Arguements e.g. one of my projects currently has --datadir=/foo/bar/baz
