Remote debugging on sun box [message #1417486]

Our organization keeps all the source code on a sun box (SunOS 5.10 to be exact) and development is done in that environment. We have a lot of vi fans of which I am not one. I would like to build my apps on the remote box and use Eclipse to debug. Unfortunately, we don't have gdbserver on out system and debugging is done with dbx if you're a command line type, or the SunStudio IDE. Is there a way to use dbx through RSE and connect it to the CDT debugging interface? I'd love to be able to just select my binary and say "debug this".

I'm not aware of any recent support for dbx. You really would need a gdbserver to make this work. Unless you have GDB itself running on your target? If you do, you can cheat and tell eclipse to start GDB using ssh on the remote and pretend it is doing local debugging.

I don't have other suggestions.
Sorry
