| Re: [cdt-dev] 'Failed to execute MI command: -exec-run' error when trying to debug a GNU project with Eclipse |
What is going on here is your project has a .gdbinit file that is not compatible with Eclipse CDT. You can edit .gdbinit file to make it work, or you can disable the use of the .gdbinit in the Debug Configuration -> Debugger Tab -> Set GDB command file to your own filename (or a blank). See the attached screenshot for where in the UI I am referring to. The emacs .gdbinit has a lot of useful stuff in it so you will probably want it :-) If you disable it about, you can type "source .gdbinit" after CDT has started the debug session in the Debugger Console. ~~~ Jonah Graham Kichwa Coders Ltd. www.kichwacoders.com On 11 August 2017 at 12:11, Evan Aad <oddeveneven@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I've now managed to debug the Emacs source code with gdb using Emacs itself > as the IDE.
