+1 for the (cdt core) october detail plan below.
For the requirements, it is not on gdb(cdt-debug) but rather:

make (default builder)
  Assuming you have a compiler call cc, when generating makefiles.

ctags-5.3 and up (default indexer)

The binary Parser, only supported format ELF.
  binutils(addr2line, c++filt) are used but not required.

etc..
