Hi,

When i activate the debugger option on OS X, i get this error message.

Debugger Error

Ooops, the debugger entered the error state
Save your work now !

Hit Stop, and hope the best, we're pulling the plug.


Thanks.

Does the debugger work from the command line? For example:

gdb project1.app

Thanks.

You have a newer build of the debugger than I do, possibly because
you're running Intel and/or Leopard, where I'm running PowerPC and
Tiger.

Here's my version:

GNU gdb 6.3.50-20050815 (Apple version gdb-573) (Fri Oct 20 15:54:33
GMT 2006)

I'm not familiar with that warning.

Did you enter "run"?

Thanks.

They probably changed something again in gdb, either get a fresh
version from gnu (not sure if it'll work seeing as apple modified it),
older from OSx or use from commandline. Bugrep would be welcome for
future possible fixes of course.
