Debugging with Dev-C++ 5.2.0.2 - Cannot find program file gdb.exe when debugging

Question

I am using Orwell Dev-C++ 5.2.0.2 on 32-bit Windows XP. The compiler is TDM-GCC 4.6.1 32-bit. Whenever I press F8 to debug, a error box appears, which says:

Error with debugging process : could not find program file gdb.exe.

Pressing Enter, another error box appears, which says:

Error with debugging process : CloseHandle - gdb process

Then the debugging process stops. I can't debug. I have checked that gdb.exe exists in C:\Dev-Cpp\bin. Why couldn't it be found? Anyone can help? Thank you!

Answer 1

You should add C:\Dev-Cpp\bin to your PATH environment variable.

Answer 2

You need to include C:\Dev-Cpp\bin in PATH to get this to work.
