I've been using Geany for a few days and have run into an issue that I'm unable to resolve. I've created a test project and created a c application and compiled and linked it successfully. I then decided to turn on debug flag and try out the Debug Plug-in.
I updated the compiler from **gcc -Wall -c "%f"** to **gcc -g -Wall -c "%f"** in both the Project Properties and the Set Build Commands windows. After deleting the object and executable files, I compiled and linked successfully. However, the Debug Plug-in didn't work.
To troubleshoot, I ran gdb in a terminal and noticed that the debug symbol information for my test application was missing. After discovering this, I deleted the object and executable files and recompiled on the command line with the debug flag set (in the Geany folder). After doing this gdb worked fine and I was able to run the Debug Plug-in within Geany.
It seems that the compiler flag I added to the property windows in Geany is not being picked up. Note that the compiler message in the Compiler message window indicates that it is.
Any recommendation on what I may be missing/doing incorrectly?
Thanks.
