Maybe you could you add a popup message when the user tries to run the 
debugger but some of the prerequisites are not met.

Something like:
Warning : The optimizations are turned on, you may experience some 
strange debugger behavior.
                 Please use -O0 compiler flag (Project 
 Options->Configure Options -> Compiler Flags)  and
                 recompile the entire project to ensure "normal" results.

or

Warning : Executable file not found. Make sure the executable you are 
trying to run exists. Set Project  Options->Run Options->Main program to 
the executable.
