Using gdb debugger for remote session with gdbserver [message #955103]

I have Eclipse Juno installed on RedHat Enterprise Linux (6.3). We are using the CDT (C/C++) and have the DSF/GDB framework installed for debugging.

The ide is running on a separate machine where the application is. Therefore we have installed gdbserver on the remote host and have it setup as follows:

# gdbserver CAHAL-SMSS03:10069 --attach 4589

The process starts, attachs to the program we wish to debug and awaits a connection from a remote/local gdb process.

Then, we fire up eclipse juno, create a Run/Debug configuration for C/C++ Remote Application and use the GDB (DSF) Remote application launcher where we specify the Host name and port that gdbserver is up awaiting connection.

We we hit Debug, in the debug log we see:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.gdb 4 5012 2012-10-23 07:54:19.969

I have confirmed that the 2 systems can talk tcp/ip ok...

Tried using Hostname and IP address ...same issue.

Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

Thx.

Looks like GDB cannot connect to your target. To confirm this start GDB directly from the command line on your host and try to connect to your target. If you get the same error, you have a problem connecting from host to target.

On target:
# gdbserver CAHAL-SMSS03:10069 --attach 4589

On host:
> gdb
(gdb) target remote CAHAL-SMSS03:10069

(you can use the IP address instead of the hostname if you want).

Even i have a problem with remote debugging .In eclipse juno CDT i get this error
"warning: A handler for the OS ABI "GNU/Linux" is not built into this configuration
of GDB. Attempting to continue with the default i386 settings."
