Re: [cdt-dev] Renaming gdb
This feature (ability to overwrite the default gdb settings) has been discussed and is considered for the next release.

Kim,

Yes, this works for me.

However, I'd like to change the name of the executable AND provide it
with
an initialisation file *automatically*. I know it's not a big deal, but
I
don't want the user to have to do this. Via plugins, CDT allows you to
override the name of the compiler and options, so why not the debugger?

Thanks,

---
Derek

If you just want to use gdb as it normally operates, ie you
don't want to rewrite how Eclipse uses gdb, then you can use
any name for it you want, at least in a Standard Make project.

Go to Run->Debug... Select your Debug Object.  On the
Debugger tab, fill in the new name of your gdb in the "GDB
debugger" field.  FWIW, I am using '/usr/bin/m6811-elf-gdb'
and it works fine.
