Hi,
I'm having troubles setting up the debugger in Lazarus so that I can
run/trace thru the code. Is it possible yet and if so, how can I set
it up ?

Error : "Debugger error"
          "Ooops, the debugger entered the error state"

current debugger options :
  type = GNU debugger (gdb)
  path = C:\lazarus\pp\bin\win32\gdbpasw.exe

Anny help would be appreciated !

Thanks in advance.

It was possible for a short time about 3 months ago. Lately I tried I
again, but it didn't work then. I didn't have any time to find the
cause  of this error.

In the Text screen of Lazarus I see the following error :
"[TCmdLineDebugger.SendCmdLn] Unable to send <-gdb-set confirm off>.
No process running."
I'll also "TRY" and have a look !?!

Thanks

Ok, almost a year later... I inserted a breakpoint... But the program
does not break.  How am I supposed to stop it?

I just tried for myself and had no problem. I create a new project
with a button and started the project.

I clicked in the margin of an event handler and a red button showed.
Then when a clicked on the button, the program paused asked me to
locate the unit1.pas file. Since I didn't save the test project it was
in the temp directory. After that I could step through the event
handler.

Did you set the debugger correctly in the debugger options?
