standalone debugger with Mac Os [message #1723109]

Hi,

is it possible to start (install) the standalone debugger on Mac OSX?
I tried to run the ./install script but it returns:

./install.sh: error: eclipse executable not found in expected location

This can occur if you are running this script from your local .eclipse directory
which would mean you are running a shared instance of the Eclipse platform for
your distro and have installed the Stand-alone Debugger from an eclipse.org
download repo. Downloading the Stand-alone Debugger feature on top of a distro
version of Eclipse Debugger is not supported. If you are using a distro version
of the Eclipse platform, you should not use this script. Instead, install the
corresponding Eclipse CDT package for your distro (e.g. eclipse-cdt package)
which will install the Stand-alone Debugger for you.

Thanks for help.

Hi Michael. I haven't tried the standalone debugger on Mac yet but I'll try when I have the chance. Hopefully it's just a tweak in the script. For the script version, there are 2 things that probably need to be fixed:
- The location of the executable is different on Mac because it resides in a .app
- The configuration file needs the platform-specific plugins (fragments) for Mac.

For the product (RCP) version, we'd have to tweak the .product file to include the missing platform-specific plugins and it should work fine.

Hi Michael,

I have modified the script so that it works on Mac. It will be included in the next milestone of the Neon release. The final release is in June but the next miletone (M7) will be available May 6th here: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index-developer.php
The Stand-alone Debugger application is already available as part of the nightly builds here: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/builds/master/nightly/rcp/?d
If you're more adventurous, you could overwrite the scripts in your installation with the ones found here: http://git.eclipse.org/c/cdt/org.eclipse.cdt.git/tree/debug/org.eclipse.cdt.debug.application/scripts
