OS: Windows 8 64bit
Pelles C Version: 7(r) Fresh Install
I can't seem how to get debugging working in Pelles C for 32-bit applications. Seems to work fine for 64-bit. I've changed every type of folder permission I can think of to get it working.
Note that this only applies to Win32 Console based applications. Dialog based apps debug fine. Below are my steps to reproduce with first project of brand new install.
1. Start "poide64.exe"
2. Authorize UAC
3. New Win32 Console Program
4. Add win_main.c file with main method plus a simple printf("Test");
5. Go to Project->Project Options->Compiler Tab->Set "Debug Information" to "Full"
6. Go to Linker Tab->Set "Debug Information" to "CodeView Format" (tried all options)
7. Build / Compile
8. Press "Run" and get the results you would expect.
8. Press Debug.. and the following happens (which I have to close the IDE via the Task Manager because there are endless "Access Denied" messageboxes displayed):
As a side note, I've also tried to install the debugging addin posted in the addin forum. However, when placing the .dll in the correct addin folder and starting Pessel C IDE, the option for the addin is not visible in both places described in the forum thread.
Thanks for your help!! I really want to replace Microsoft VS for my C projects.
