Can't load debugger

[eranif]

wxWidgets requires about 2,5 gigabytes of disk space

well, looks like a bug in the installer not with wxWidgets...

Will do it from scratch:

download the wxWidgets sources from here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwi ... -Setup.exe (installer is about 12MB)

install it under C:\wxWidgets-2.8.7 or something similar, as long you install it on a path with no space in it

Once extracted, you will need to compile it (assuming wxWidgets was installed under C:\wxWidgets-2.8.7):

Code: Select all

cd C:\wxWidgets-2.8.7\build\msw
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release UNICODE=1 MONOLITHIC=1 SHARED=1

once compiled, make sure that WXWIN is pointing to the correct path of the installation

EDIT: when I come to think about it, it make sense that the installer requires that much, since it provides all builds configurations available for wxWidgets (Unicode, ASNI, multi-lib, monolithic, debug,release) - so it only make sense why it is that big, I will contact the maintainer of wxPack (who recently joined CodeLite team) to think of a better solution (maybe providing several installers per-configuration)

Alright, I've successfully compiled CodeLite...what's next?

Close CodeLite.
go to trunk\Runtime\

edit the batch script update.bat to fit your paths (.i.e replace C:\Program Files\CodeLite\ with the path to your CodeLite installation)
and run it.

Star CodeLite again, and check if the debugger loaded.

Star CodeLite again, and check if the debugger loaded.

CodeLite still prints the same error message:
11:41:11: Failed to load debugger's dll: h:\CodeLite\debuggers\Debugger.dll

Download dependency walker from here: http://www.dependencywalker.com/
(If you are not familiar with this tool, this tools checks for dependencies missing for DLLs)

the downloaded zip contains 3 files: depends.exe, dll and chm file.
Launch the depends.exe and open the 'Debugger.dll'
Now, on my machine, the only missing DLL is DWMAPI.DLL but this is OK.

What are the errors that you get when trying to load it under your machine?

The first time I ran Dependency Walker on Debugger.dll it complained that the file
APPHELP.DLL is missing, so I downloaded it from dll-files.com. After the second
run it produced the following output:

Error: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in an implicitly dependent module.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module.


In the module dependency tree the following DLL files are highlighted in red:
KERNEL32.DLL
NTDLL.DLL
MPR.DLL

In the file KERNEL32.DLL, the function AttachConsole is marked as unresolved (red).

Now, if I understand the module dependency tree correctly, APPHELP.DLL calls NTDLL.DLL.

In NTDLL.DLL the functions RtlDuplicateUnicodeString, RtlNtPathNameToDosPathName,
RtlpEnsureBufferSize are marked as unresolved.

APPHELP.DLL also calls KERNEL32.DLL, in which the functions BaseCheckAppcompatCache, BaseDumpAppcompatCache, BaseFlushAppcompatCache and
BaseUpdateAppcompatCache are marked as unresolved.

in MPR.DLL the function WNetRestoreConnectionA is marked as unresolved.

Hope this helps.

In the file KERNEL32.DLL, the function AttachConsole is marked as unresolved (red).

this error is directly related to the debugger. I thought that AtttachConsole is part of the Win 2000 SDK...

Clearly I was wrong.
Now that you have the sources: do SVN update, build CodeLite again, and run update.bat script.

Did it help?

Did it help?

Yes. CodeLite loaded the debugger

One more thing though: I tried inserting breakpoints and then debugging a program,
but the debugger did not stop at the breakpoints. Why is that?

[eranif]

- Did u build your program with debugging symbols?
- Are u trying to place a break point at a code which is dynamically loaded using dlopen/LoadLibrary?
- Which version of GDB are u using

and finally, can u please paste the debugger log? (the output that u get from at the 'Debug' tab)

- Did u build your program with debugging symbols?

Yes. The "-g" flag is specified in Compiler Options.

- Are u trying to place a break point at a code which is dynamically loaded using dlopen/LoadLibrary?

No...

- Which version of GDB are u using

gdb 5.2.1

and finally, can u please paste the debugger log? (the output that u get from at the 'Debug' tab)

Code: Select all

The line "No source file named H:/CodeLite/projects/tetris/tetris.cpp." looks bizarre,
because there definitely exists a source file with that name and I can open it.
