| − | == How to try it out ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | # Clone the CDT git repository
| + | |
| − | #* git clone git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/cdt/org.eclipse.cdt.git
| + | |
| − | # Checkout the GDBStandalone branch
| + | |
| − | #* cd org.eclipse.cdt; git checkout GDBStandalone
| + | |
| − | # Start up a Kepler 4.3 Eclipse
| + | |
| − | #* Go to http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index-developer.php
| + | |
| − | #* Download and unpack the Eclipse standard package for your system
| + | |
| − | #* run DIRECTORY_YOU_UNPACKED_TO/eclipse/eclipse -data ~/workspace-gdbstandalone
| + | |
| − | #* this will start up Eclipse
| + | |
| − | # In Eclipse, import the CDT plug-ins
| + | |
| − | #* Click from the top menu: File->Import
| + | |
| − | #* Choose Git->Projects from Git
| + | |
| − | #* Choose "local" repository and click Next
| + | |
| − | #* Click the Add button if org.eclipse.cdt/.git isn't found in list
| + | |
| − | #** Type in the location of the org.eclipse.cdt directory you cloned into
| + | |
| − | #** Remember to specify org.eclipse.cdt as part of the location
| + | |
| − | #** Hit Search button
| + | |
| − | #** Make sure the directory with org.eclipse.cdt/.git is checked on
| + | |
| − | #** Hit Finish
| + | |
| − | #* Select the CDT repository (org.eclipse.cdt/.git) and hit Next
| + | |
| − | #* Select to Import Existing Projects from the wizard if not already defaulted
| + | |
| − | #* Click Next
| + | |
| − | #* Select all projects, then deselect all projects that do not start with org.eclipse.cdt or GDBStandalone
| + | |
| − | #** You can also deselect org.eclipse.cdt.p2 projects as well
| + | |
| − | #* Hit Finish
| + | |
| − | # Now import the sample launch configuration
| + | |
| − | #* File->Import...
| + | |
| − | #* Choose Run/Debug->Launch configurations
| + | |
| − | #* Point to your [CDT clone directory]/debug/GDBStandalone/GDBStandalone.application.launch
| + | |
| − | #* Select the launch and hit Finish
| + | |
| − | # Edit the launch configuration
| + | |
| − | #* Click on the top menu: Run
| + | |
| − | #* Select Run Configurations...
| + | |
| − | #* Open up the tree element Eclipse Applications
| + | |
| − | #* Select GDBStandalone
| + | |
| − | #* Select the Arguments tab
| + | |
| − | #* Change the executable after -e to be the location of the executable you want to debug followed by arguments
| + | |
| − | #** In the future a wrapper script will be provided so you can specify this from the command line
| + | |
| − | #** If you have the build log for the executable, add -b [log file location]
| + | |
| − | #*** This will allow the indexer to have all the correct build flags and include paths to index with
| + | |
| − | # The debugger will be up and running
| + | |
| − | #* Click on Help->Help Contents to find out how to use the C/C++ debugger
| + | |
| − | #* Open up C/C++ Development User Guide -> Tasks -> Running and debugging projects -> Debugging
| + | |
| − | #* Look at sections after starting executable which you have already done
| + | |
| − | # When the executable is complete, you can relaunch
| + | |
| − | #* Right-click on top line
| + | |
| − | #* Choose
| + | |
| − | # If you want, create a new launch to run last executable
| + | |
| − | #* Click on the top menu: Run->Run configurations...
| + | |
| − | #* Open Eclipse Applications and right-click on the GDBStandlone launch you just added'
| + | |
| − | #* Rename it if you want to
| + | |
| − | #* Select Arguments tab
| + | |
| − | #* Remove the -e arguments to end of line
| + | |
| − | #* With no executable specified, the last launch is used, if one exists
| + | |
| − | #* Using the last launch saves cleaning up of the executable and doesn't require importing again
