launch external tool in debug mode [message #632111] Mon, 11 October 2010 11:28 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi,
I just switched to eclipse helios for c++ dev on mac osx.

As a test I made a simple terminal application which uses ncurses.
I created an external tools configuration to launch the binary in the terminal (using the console for output fails for obvious reasons because of ncurses).

Now I want to debug, how can I setup the debug configuration to launch the application in terminal.

Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.

I tried attaching the debugger to an xterm windows (which it does I think), but I'm not getting any output in the terminal, also eclipse gives me a "No source available" error with an option to "View Disassembly" and won't let me step through the code.

Although I followed the instructions and eclipse let's me pick the terminal from the list of processes, it doesn't really work.

What do other people use to debug applications?
I hope this doesn't mean that you can only debug simple applications that only use eclipse console?

Then you did not follow the instructions. I just tried here and it did work as expected. You should debug your application as "Local C/C++ application" and not attach gdb to the terminal.
