<p>Geany is built with the GCC compiler, it does not provide the proprietary debug symbols needed to use Microsoft debug tools. (see <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44456068/how-to-compile-c-program-in-gcc-to-enable-debug-in-windbg/44456383#44456383" rel="nofollow">here</a>)</p>
<p>Instead you should run Geany under the gdb Gnu debugger and after a crash when control returns to gdb type <code>bt</code> get a backtrace and post that here.</p>
