RE: [cdt-dev] Use CDT debugger to attach to a running process

[Marc Khouzam <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

MinGw provides GDB 7.0 which should do that.

The installation is very simple and running it is just putting the full path.

Give that a try.

Thanks for the information, Marc.

I know what my confusion was.  I did not expect that I need an gdb locally in my client machine.  

I am running Windows XP and want to debug a running application in a remote Linux X86 machine.  From what I've searched in the web, It seems hard to get a cross gdb binary which runs on Windows, but is capable of debugging Linux applications.

You have to start gdbserver manually on your target.
In eclipse, you specify the path to gdb not gdbserver.
Try using
/usr/bin/gdb
instead of /usr/bin/gdbserver

This posting is related to a previous posting:

Thanks, Marc, for your information.  I did not get the mails from this mailing list sent to my inbox any more (could be I accidently unsubscribe it? ).  So I thought I did not post it properly and posted it again.  

I tried your suggestion, and now, I put "/usr/bin/gdbserver" in the Main  page of the Debugger tab.  But I still got the same message, except this time, it complains about "Error while launching command: \usr\bin\gdbserver --version".
It seems to me, the debugger treat this as local gdb command, instead of the remote one.
