Hi
I could not get the breakpoints to work, I googled a lot, tried all the suggestions
unsuccessfully.
After a full day of trial I ended up that now the project does not show anything in the Debugger output window.

I have this setup
Windows XP, lazarus 1.0,12, svn 42478
(installed with the exe provided)
(sorry for the spanish legends, but regrettably when I installed lazarus I did not find an option for choosing the language, it took it by default from geographical origin)

with Level1 and nothing else checked
The project build with no apparent problems, except the breakpoints don't work
(there are no blue dots, and when I click on a line to add a breakpoint, it shows a
red circle with a "?" inside)
Any help please?

As a work around, try using showmessage(variable.field):

That will at least let you see what's in the variable at that point, and program execution should stop until you hit OK.

But you can try and sent a log

Maybe something stands out.

Did you find this bug report

I mention this as something that stands out for quite some time already: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=21061

Thanks martin and Sven

The url you gave me do not have a solution. They state the problem, but there is no solution.
I downloaded 1.0.14 and re-installed Lazarus.
I first compile with the -g linker option, it compliled but still no blue dots.
Then I tried with -gw -godwarfsets (I put -dgodwarfsets in the Define window).
This time the Project does not compile, it gives me a bunch of erros like this for all files
in the project:
pos.lpr(30) Error: Failed reading coff file, illegal reloctype $000F while reading d:\cf1\output\pos.o
I went back to the -g option and get the same errors. I have d:\cf1\output in the output directory window (-FU). Any Idea what this is? I have no ebug outpu, b/c it stops before getting there

Did you try adding the drive where your sources reside to the "other unit paths (IDE only)" option? By judging your below examples it should be "D:\".

It could be that Dwarf is not correctly supported for WinCE...

Test the following:
- disable generation of debug info and completely rebuild project (maybe delete *.o and *.ppu manually if necessary)
- enable generation of debug info (stabs/default) again and completely rebuild

At work a colleague and me recently had success at debugging a WinCE program on the emulator though I had thought that it might not work.

I tried that but with me did not work
