Debugging using VMWARE and LINUX

[murphy666]

i want to start coding for the project.

The only problem left is how to debug with vmware (using a named pipe) and gdb in linux.

Could someone help me with this?

thanks!

I was using the netpipes package like this:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

exec faucet 1666 --in --out hose -unix- /tmp/vmdebug --slave

With vmware set to 'this end is server' and 'other end is a program'.

You can then do

Code: Select all

(gdb) target remote localhost:1666

And be connected to reactos' gdb port. Of course you need to enable gdb in reactos like this:

Code: Select all

BootType=ReactOS
SystemPath=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\ReactOS
Options=/COM=1 /DEBUGPORT=GDB /BAUD=115200
