How to specify executable as argument for gdb? [message #645350]

I want to debug an ARM microcontroller system using Eclipse 3.6.0. When I launch gdb from within Eclipse, the gdb load command fails because Eclipse did not specify the executable. The command line for gdb seems to be this:

arm-none-eabi-gdb -q -nw -i mi

How can I add the name of the executable to it?

I know I can add the command "file executable" to the window on the Startup tab page, but nobody else seems to have to do that.

BTW, my gdb does not know -nw or -i. Why are these arguments specified?

Thanks,
Jim

Did you not see the sticky post at the top of the forum about asking
C++-related questions?

Thank you for your answer.

No, I did not see the sticky subject, sorry. Also my question is not about C/C++ but about launching GDB from Eclipse. Being a newcomer to Eclipse and this forum, I thought that this would be the right place for my question.

I will try again in the C/C++ forum.

Thanks,
Jim

Yea, launching gdb from Eclipse is nevertheless an Eclipse CDT skill and
better asked about in that forum.
