I really need to have a symbolic interface to gdb running on my BBBs. Here is my situation. I keep build copies of the software on the BBB and compile them on the BBB. I edit them on my PC, keeping the masters in a local repo. I manually move them over after editing to compile them on the BBB. I have tried debugging on the BBB with gdb and its command line interface but the code has gotten too complicated nowadays. I am running the 2017-03-19 image with updates. I am concerned about the file space remaining on the BBB so I don't want a big app on the BBB. I can do X to my desktop, so an X frontend to dbg seems like the best answer. In other situations, I have used Eclipse CDT on my dev station (that was a Ubuntu box) but cross compiling and remote debugging were a problem. I ended up pushing the sources over and compiling over on the BBB and never remote debugged. Now I have a Windows dev station and I could put Eclipse on it, but things like cross compiling would be a disaster. I push the BBB pretty hard with my app. The BBB is only a single processor. Whatever the front end it shouldn't take a lot of cpu. I guess during debugging sessions, the cpu load is excusable tho. I don't think the file space for putting Eclipse CDT on the BBB is affordable, otherwise I like running Eclipse on the BBB. I can teach Eclipse where my repo is. I could run it via X from my PC. I could rebuild the bots but use a big SD card so file space isn't a problem. I guess I haven't accreted soooo much stuff that rebuilding would be a set back. So what to do? Thanks, Clark
