Debugging C applications in MonoDevelop fails

Question

Hi,

debugging in MonoDevelop does not work for me. First of all, I have installed MonoDevelop, GNU Debugger plugin and ctags through Ubuntu software center and I'm using Ubuntu 10.10.

When I press "Debug" it goes into debug mode but very quickly returns to "normal mode". My simple application contains some scanf so it should wait for input and I have also set a lot of breakpoints.

My application works perfectly when I run it without debugging and it debugs fine if I use gdb manually. Of cause, I've tried rebooting and installing multiple times.

Any ideas on what goes wrong?

Update: I have checked the MonoDevelop log and it goes like:

OnTargetEvent, type - TargetExited
...

Thanks, Lasse

I suggest you file a bug.

You might want to check for errors in the MD log (~/.config/MonoDevelop/log) and the debugger output pad. Also, are you using an external console?
