Hello,

I found an old topic with the same title (https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/198229/) but it tells how to debug a program with a real terminal. I'm just a hobby programmer, and I'm not sure how it is related what I want.

I'm making a C++ library that will be used by the Godot game engine's runtime. So I configured my eclipse project to have a run configuration with an "External Tools" launch mode, which works fine when I just run the application.

I basically build the project with SCons that builds the library into the Godot project which is a subfolder of the eclipse project. Then I execute Godot from the godot project with the main scene that calls the library:

Build configuration:
Project > Properties > Builders has an SCons builder configured.

Launch configuration:
Launch Mode: External Tools
Location: /home/user/Desktop/Godot_v3.2.3-stable_x11.64
Working Directory: ${workspace_loc:/godot-cpp-library/godot-project}
Arguments: main.tscn

I could not find a way to use this for debugging. Is it possible to debug a project like this that is executed by an external application?

Thank you in advance!
