Since i really shot down my installation I cannot tell which gdb has been used lastly, but lazarus was version 1.2.0 and that combination worked - well somehow at least. Debugging a programm killed some config files, some of my sources and maybe the compiler itself, cannot tell because in the end the machine freezed and shortly rebooted on CTRL-F9. The problem worked at was some confusion in the contruction chain, so I had to stop several times even before a window showed up on the screen. I kept the defect fpc and lazarus dirs, but not the hosed configuration, it is repaired now. Lazarus stumbled across some zero length files, but it should not reboot the computer. I think the damaged file system killed the compiler or the like. -- Marc Santhoff -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

Use ports and install a later GDB (/usr/ports/devel/gdb). I have gdb 7.8.1 installed here on FreeBSD 10.1 and it works perfectly with FPC 2.6.4. I see GDB 7.9.1 is available in ports too, but I don't want to "fix" what isn't broken. ;-) Regards, - Graeme - -- fpGUI Toolkit - a cross-platform GUI toolkit using Free Pascal http://fpgui.sourceforge.net/ -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

The lowest version regularly tested is or was till recently 6.3.5 (the apple mac edition). But it is well possible that even older versions still work.

> GNU gdb 6.1.1 [FreeBSD] Wow! That's about 11 years ago :o I don't know what's the lower bound, but 7.1-7.2 is found to be working. I'm on a rolling release distro which always provides latest GDB (7.9.1 atm) and it works quite fine (well, there are hiccups here and there, but only in certain corner cases). -- View this message in context: http://free-pascal-lazarus.989080.n3.nabble.com/Lazarus-gdb-version-for-use-with-lazarus-tp4043248p4043249.html Sent from the Free Pascal - Lazarus mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
