Re: [cdt-dev] GDB debugger path

[Marc Khouzam <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

the format for env variables is ${env_var:ProjDirPath}.
As for eclipse variables, which you can define in Preferences->Run/Debug->String Substitution,
the format is ${<eclipsevar>}, e.g. ${ProjDirPath}

You can refer to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=323466 for more info

Using PATH works for me all the time.  I use things like, gdb, gdb.7.0, gdb.6.8, and because their are in my PATH, the proper gdb is used.

Well, running Helios on Linux I tried both approaches without success:

- Using the ${ProjDirPath} variable resulted in:
"Error creating session
Cannot run program "${ProjDirPath}/Externals/Tools/AndroidNdk/Linux/build/prebuilt/linux-x86/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi-gdb": Unknown reason"

- Having arm-eabi-gdb in my PATH and just setting the command in the configuration gave me:
"Error creating session
Cannot run program "arm-eabi-gdb": Unknown reason"
-> Which looks like the command has not been found. I think I read somewhere, that CDT does not respect the PATH variable but looks into /usr/bin/

Thanks,
Max
