Hi,
I want to debug my application using gdb, i used last mingw version that include gdb7.6, i use CodeBlock as editor, but i notice gdb can't run my exe in windows xp(sp3), i added -gc to compiler but it fail to start gdb

dmd -gc hello.d
gdb hello.exe

If it work it will work with CodeBlock debugger for windows.

If not it is supported what should i use? CodeBlock have another option CDB, from where i can install it?

thanks in advance.

I searched before, but i found this after post

I found CDB in WinSDKWin32Tools in DVD that you can download it from Microsoft site

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8442
I choose GRMSDK_EN_DVD.iso

More info

Mission failed

What compiler are you using ? Maybe gdc can produce debug info compatible with gdb on Windows. If that fails, you have to use visualD, which works great.

I used last one DMD2
gdc made some conflicts versions with my mingw, so i will retry it.

about VisualD, is it need Visual Studio paid version?
it is not worked with Express version :(

I liked D i will keep trying to use it :)

Indeed, Visual D does not work with the Express versions because they don't support extensions.

Instead, you can use the free Visual Studio Shell. See the installation hints here: http://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/Installation.html

While i am trying to download VS2010, I will go to install gdc, there is only version for mingw 4.6 for windows but, i have 4.8, do i need to revert back to mingw 4.6?

Failed to install VS2010 i have links to download but icons not appears, So i downloaded VS2080 and VisualD (VisualD in c:\programs\visuald), Create new D project in c:\temp\testd (no spaces)
but then i have Error in compiling

I guess you are using the VS shell. As explained in the installation instructions [1], VS 2008 Shell is missing the file msobj80.dll that is needed for the debug info conversion. You need to extract that from other products as the Express version.

I rather recommend using the VS 2013 Shell instead, it doesn't need additional files.
