Of course it works fine, -gl does not change anything about debugging. As I wrote in the part you cut away: "-gl shows the source code lines next to the hexadecimal addresses when a backtrace is printed to the console."

If you want line info printed next to backtraces printed to the console when a run time error occurs, then yes.

Maybe Lazarus stops the program before the backtrace is printed. In that case you should look at its callstack window once the program is stopped (assuming Lazarus provides one), or let the program continue executing after it has been stopped by Lazarus so that the program can print the backtrace to the console.
