Hi,
I'm trying to debug into a shared library which is external to CDT (i.e. -
not developed using the CDT. Specifically its installed in the system
using RPM). The library so file (which I link against) has no debugging
symbols, but I have the "debug info" file - the so with all debugging
symbols. I also have the source files for this library installed somewhere.
Problem is - CDT (using the gdb debugger) doesn't let me debug into the
library. I've added the so debug info file into the "shared libraries"
list in the "debugger" tab on the debug configuration dialog, but it
doesn't seem to do anything. I've also tried to right click the library in
question in the "modules" view while debugging, and under properties tried
to change the "symbols file" to the debug info file, but when I click "OK"
I get an error: "Target request failed: not supported".
Is there a way that I can "force" CDT to load the debug symbols from the
external file ?
I'm using Eclipse 3.2 M6 with a CDT nightly from about two weeks ago.

As you can see it from the error message, this feature currently is not
supported. But you can use the gdb console if there is a way to do it in
gdb.
