[cdt-debug-dev] cross-platform development: problem with connection to g

[Vladimir Leven <vladimirl@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am working on Red Hat Linux on an x86 as my developent platform and 
using Eclipse M8 with CDT m8. I am developing C code for an embedded 
application. I have been able to successfully use CDT to debug my 
program as long as it is compiled using the native gcc compiler -- both 
running gdb directly and connecting to gdbserver on localhost. However, 
when I use my cross-compiler to build the binary for my target platform 
(ppc) and try setting up debugging using gdbserver for that platform, 
CDT seems unable to run. As soon as I compile my code using the 
cross-compiler, when I got into the "Debugger" tab, the "Debugger" 
drop-down list becomes blank and I can't debug the application. I have 
been able to debug my program at the command line by starting gdbserver 
on my target platform and running the version of gdb compiled for that 
target (gdb-powerpc-linux) to connect to the server. Any help would be 
greatly appreciated. I am very impressed with Eclipse and CDT and would 
really like to be able to use it, especially with online debugging.

Thanks in advance,

Vladimir
