HI,
I am having trouble getting geany-scope to step and debug a simple test file.

https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/1461#issuecomment-355559491
I have applied the patch to fix scope locking up. But when I run the executable for debugging I don't get the usual debug functions ( step etc ) enabled, only terminate.
I get the impression that it is not connecting to gdb but don't see any output showning an error or enabling determination of the problem.
I have no prior experience with this debugger since it used to lock-up. Could be finger trouble or something not correctly set up.
Any suggestions of where to look.
thanks. _______________________________________________
BTW I built plugins with the following, is that sufficient, or do I need to include other options ?
./configure --with-geany-libdir=/usr/local/lib --disable-all-plugins --enable-debugger --enable-scope
After running configure like that, it should say 'yes' or 'no' next to Scope in the summary message, letting you know whether it will be built or not. Debugger and Scope are mutually exclusive, both different front-ends to GDB. Make sure you don't have both of them activated at the same time inside Geany by looking in the Plugin Manager dialog. The one called "Debugger" should be unchecked and the one called "Scope" should be checked.
Can you describe step-by-step from a clean slate exactly the steps you're performing, including descriptions of which specific buttons you're pressing and whatnot (or make a screencast video/gif and link to it)? The steps mentioned by Lars[0] sound accurate. Are you sure you're not using Geany's builtin run/execute feature instead of the one that is provided by the Scope plugin? Can you also confirm that using GDB on that program just on the normal command-line works?
P.S. Unrelated, but you might want to move the #include in your test program out to the top-level instead of inside the function. It's likely to confuse any tools which are dealing with symbols, having so much stuff included into function scope and will surely blow up during compilation if you ever do that with a header that contains inline functions or such.
