I have just installed codelite in my windows 8.1.It shows error 

  Debugger exited with the following error string:
   "No executable 
   specified,use 'target exec'"

I searched and found this (another stackoverflow question) I did the same as mentioned there but nothing really worked for me.I made a new project and selected Simple executable (g++) and GNU debugger as default debugger.Can anybody help me with this.Also it shows "Program exited with return code: 4199040".

  • You have build your project? There was no errors when building? It *is* an executable program you're building? – Some programmer dude Apr 20 '15 at 05:48
  • No sir,at the time of debugging my code.I tried both quick debug as well as default debugging process – chota bheem Apr 20 '15 at 05:49
  • I have build my project successfully,no error that time.Just tried simple Hello world program in c++.Also it shows "Program exited with return code: 4199040". – chota bheem Apr 20 '15 at 05:53
  • That return code is suspect, even without a return-statement in the `main` function, the compiler should automatically have added a `return 0;` at the end of the program, so the return code should have been zero. I don't know if that's related to your current problem, but it is a problem none the less. – Some programmer dude Apr 20 '15 at 06:02
  • Yes sir,i tried both with return 0; as well as without it but nothing happened.I think it has nothing to do with my problem – chota bheem Apr 20 '15 at 06:08

It seems that you don't provide executable to run/debug:

Go to

Project settings... -> Common settings -> General

and fill correct information for

Executable to Run / Debug

Jarod42 provided a 'close enough' answer. On Linux the steps seem to be:

Workspace -> Open Active Project Settings... -> General

and fill correct information for

Executable to Run / Debug

In the command prompt:

  1. gdb (program type: example python or c or c++ etc) If am running python program then the command will be gdb python
  2. then (gdb) run program_name.py
