nothing :/

[golden jetty]

try type c:\mingw\bin\gdb.exe in cmd

[uneven carbon]

The system cannot find the file specified.

I am able to compile my .c files, but I want to use the debugger and I don't what I am doing wrong : /

[golden jetty]

Can you check if gdb.exe is located at that place

in file explorer

[uneven carbon]

I also checked manually, it is not there

[golden jetty]

check in file explorer

you can't dir a file as well

just go and check there

[uneven carbon]

not here

where is it?

I didn't install then?

[golden jetty]

possible

[golden jetty]

is it in there

[golden jetty]

let me link you where I got my mingw

[uneven carbon]

thank you thank you!

[golden jetty]

https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds-binaries

mingw online installer

I used that thing

[uneven carbon]

Thank you!!

Ok after the installation what? Do I add it to the path?

[golden jetty]

yeah

add the bin of the install dir into bath

gdb and gcc should be inside

[uneven carbon]

okok

[frosty plume]

@uneven carbon Has your question been resolved? If so, type !solved :)

[uneven carbon]

no

is this running always in root @golden jetty ?

[golden jetty]

yeah

[uneven carbon]

So basically do i need to use this cli instead of my cmd?

[golden jetty]

no

you should be able to use cmd

check this dir

this is in my enviornment variables

PATH

[uneven carbon]

nothing

[golden jetty]

wtf

[uneven carbon]

dude is weird

[golden jetty]

are you somehow excluding it from your download

do you want my gdb binary

[uneven carbon]

idk tbh

no, that's totally fine

at least i am able to run it

outside

[golden jetty]

this is very bizzare indeed

[uneven carbon]

do you have any documentation besides their offical?

official?

[golden jetty]

regarding?

[uneven carbon]

how to use

[uneven carbon]

this shit is weird

[golden jetty]

wait u got it to work?

[golden jetty]

just google it, its kinda complicated?

type r

r will run

then up will go up a stack frame

b <linenumber> for a breakpoint

(i think)

c to continue execution

p to print out variables

[uneven carbon]

yes

[uneven carbon]
