can't understand Bloodshed Dev C++ debugger

[ttx336]

I am using Bloodshed Dev C++ 4.9.9.2 but I am having a tough time understanding how to use their debugger... I can't get it to single step most of the time. It will often tell me there is no debugging information, I let it include debugging information when it aks me for permission to but still no single step. I try again and it again asks if I want to include debugging information and again I tell it OK but still no single step.

I read an old pdf that talked about needing to use Insight's debugger but I suspect that is no longer necessary as there doesn't seem to even be a Windows build of it available and given that Dev now has built-in debugging. Other than this major obstacle, I really like Dev and wish that I could get his working.

thanks in advance,
Gary

Same for me here...

For some code the debugger works fine for me for some others it won't work.

The debugger is broken.

I downloaded wxDev C++ and I am checking it out now... the debugger works but it is pretty slow, I may bite the bullet and switch to Visual as was suggested to me on another forum...

thanks,
