Hello,

after some experimenting with descent on windows I switched over to linux (Ubuntu 8.04).

But now I have some trouble to get the debugger work.
I tried to compile my project with dsss 0.75 and the -g switch - but no success.
Then I tried gdc 4.2 (from the synaptic packagemanager of ubuntu) with the -g and -ddgb flag - but no success.

The debugger starts and it seams he waits for some input like at command-line, but descent does not switch to debug-view and a manual switch to this views does not give me any control over the debugger.

My application compiles and runs just fine.

Here the console-output by dgb:

As for gdc not being recongnized by descent as an "installed compiler", you can always add phobos as any other include path.

I started developing Descent in Windows, and I saw that DMD always comes with the same directory structure, so I took advantage of that so that if you select the root directory, Descent can figure out where phobos is.

Then I downloaded gdc, saw it's directory structure and did the same. But I didn't know that things get installed differently in linux: some things are left in /usr/bin, others in /usr/share, etc., so that approach doesn't work. I didn't fix that because I don't know what structure to look for, and that's why I recommed to add phobos as any other include path.

Luckily I've now switch to Ubuntu and fraserofthenight uses Windows, so we have one developer in each of those platforms.
