Hi,

while writing some Pascal code, I am still looking for a debugger, which works like the turbo debugger, in a similar way. I would love it to get a clue.

Best regards, Holger

I used fpc for a while before starting to use Lazarus. Of course back then, lazarus was not as stable as it is now...

Now that I have gotten accustomed to using lazarus, I will never go back! Lazarus is a wonderful tool. I believe it relies upon the gnu debugger (gdb) although I am not at all certain-- at any rate, it definitely has debugging capability.

If at all possible, I'd recommend getting it installed and getting accustomed to it. It's highly customizable, and while perhaps not obvious at first, it very well may do absolutely everything you need/expect.

Cheers,
David.

Yes. Lazarus uses gdb.
