I installed the Code::Blocks on a Windows 10 PC using the downloaded binary codeblocks-20.03-setup.exe. I adjusted the settings to point to my Msys2 MinGW compiler C:\msys64\mingw64 and debugger C:\msys64\usr\bin\gdb.exe. I then created a project with the default console app in c using Code::Blocks. It can compile and run using Code::Blocks.
When I debug it it fails. Code::Blocks gives an error:
Cannot open file: /c/GitLab/debugging-c-code/Exercise Files/Ch02/02_01/02_02_ide/main.c
At /c/GitLab/debugging-c-code/Exercise Files/Ch02/02_01/02_02_ide/main.c:6
The main.c file is open in Code::Blocks. I assume the /c/ vs c:\ part is the problem. I have no idea how to resolve the problem for Code::Blocks.
My Setup:
