Remote GDB debugging

Question

I\'ve just spent a whole day trying to find a way to enable GDB debugging from Qt Creator or Eclipse. I learned that there are basically two approaches to launch the target appl

Answer 1

Due to peculiarities in our makefile build system the file references contained in the debugging symbols look like this:

../src/main.cpp
../../src/utils/logger.cpp

This is no problem for GDB, but Qt Creator was unable to map these paths to the actual files. I was able to fix this by adding 'dir' statements in the GDB init file:

dir src
dir src/utils
...

Now it works.
