RE: [cdt-debug-dev] Remote gdb debug doesn't work
|
Hi,
To debug remotely, you will generally
need:
1. A compiler toolchain to cross-compile for the target
you're using (the linux server in your case). In other words, you
need a compiler that is run on your windows machine but will output a
binary that will run on your linux server.
2. A specially built gdb located on your windows host that
targets your linux server architecture. A matching gdbserver on your linux
server. This is done during compilation of gdb by specifying the host and
target configurations.
3. On your windows host, a copy of the linux server
shared libraries (the ones used by your linux server
program).
Your workflow should be something like:
1. Within Eclipse, build your program on the windows host
using the compiler toolchain that cross-compiles for your linux server
machine.
2. Download the resulting binary to your linux
server.
3. On your linux server, start up the gdbserver
session on the binary you downloaded.
4. Within Eclipse, create a new C/C++ Local
Application launch configuration. Specify "gdbserver Debugger"
as the debugger on the Debugger Tab. Specify the gdb built to target your linux
server. Fill in the connection details for the gdbserver connection on the
Connection Tab within the Debugger Tab. Specify the location of the copy
of the shared libraries from your linux server host on your windows
host.
I can't comment on using Cygwin. My usual workflow is
a linux machine to another host.

Hello
I have had tough time today trying to remotely debug
my C server code running using gdbserver on Linux Server. I am trying to
remotely debug this application using gdb from Eclipse on Windows machine
whic has cygwin.
Is it possible to debug C application running on Linux
from Eclipse running on Windows? My C code doesn't compile on windows machine. I
am totally lost.
Thanks in advance for any help in this
regard
