"Could not detect an installed debugger compatible with this file"

[chris-revell]

Error message received whilst trying to debug .cpp file on a Mac. GDB installed at /usr/local/bin/gdb. Any suggestions?

Try to debug a.out file :)

Same problem here but on windows...

Edit: So, in the description it says that it debugs executable files. It won't work with cpp files unless you compile them into a .exe file and then debug that file (well, it worked for me like this on windows, but I don't know how to do it on a Mac)

Guys, need to debug Executable File(File after gcc/g++), NOT a .CPP files.

This is actually what I was doing - my initial explanation was poorly worded. I never did find a solution.

I have the same text trouble that in a topic because i tried to debug .cpp file, when need to debug execution file. In your first message u said " trying to debug .cpp file" :)

Ohhh, u have macOS, ok, try to install lldb
lldb better working on MacOS then gdb.

Yes that was my mistake. As for lldb, I use this in the terminal but have yet to find an atom package for it unfortunately.
