[Fisterra-devel] Debugging the fisterra server with GDB and emacs

[Sergio V. S. <sv...@ig...>]

Hi,

due to the fisterra-repair-server is now a shell script it is not
possible to debug the server with gdb directly. If you use gdb from the
command-line you can type

libtool --mode=execute gdb

but the emacs gdb mode does not like this command. I found a solution
for going on debugging the server with the emacs gdb mode. First of all
create a shell script with this code

#!/bin/sh

exec libtool --mode=execute gdb $*

and place it in any directory of your $PATH environment variable. I
called it wrapper.

Go to the src/server directory and execute emacs there. Then when emacs
asks for the gdb command (after C-x gdb) just type:

wrapper fisterra-repair-server

you will be able to run the nice gdb emacs mode.

Bye.
