Why does CodeLite not open the LLDB or GDB debuggers?

My large application with codelite builds fine with g++ and comes up and runs. When I try to start either LLDB or GDB either something flashes on the monitor and stops or simply just does nothing.

I changed debuggers frequently tried to acquire an older version of CodeLite.

System: M1 mac with 16G of memory, OS Ventura.

CodeLite no longer supports lldb directly (on all platforms). It has moved to use the new DAP (Debug Adapter Protocol) method of debugging code.

  • On macOS, you should install lldb-vscode via brew:

    brew install llvm

  • In CodeLite make sure that the DebugAdapterClient plugin is loaded: Plugins -> Manage...

  • Force a new scan: Settings -> Debug Adapter Client and CodeLite should detect the new debugger

  • In your project, change the debugger to lldb-vscode

You can read more about DAP integration here.
