m68k-amigaos-gdb
 

Feel free to read more at https://franke.ms/amiga/gdb8.wiki

and give it a shot!

I updated my web page and added

• a first bgdbserver executable for the Amiga
• some info how to build m68k-amigaos-gdb
• a very short description howto use it

:agree

Woohoo! :D

Great!

been using it today with stepping. it seems to work well !

for those using WinUAE just remember to enable bsdsocket.library otherwise you will HALT (obvious i know but took me ages to figure out why my debug server wouldn't start :)

Awesome!! Stefan I just sent you a (small, sorry) PayPal donation for your work on gdb. Hopefully you can buy yourself a nice beer or something. :)

Cheers!

Thank you Greg, I will toast to you!

bgdbinit seems to be working under aros 68k, perhaps it can be useful. im just not sure how to approach m68k-amigaos-gdb.
lets assume ill build it within my vm linux environment im building software with, i will not be able to access winuae with it. on the other hand to use it under windows one would have a windows or at least cygwin version. is there a solution for that?

perhaps i might try to access fs-uae, im running within linux vm while initially testing, not sure what port.

Great!

A small step for me, a giant leap for Amiga fellows:

Today it worked for the first time to remotely debug an Amiga application from Eclipse.

See attached screenshot.

Nice work. Works from terminal for me. I am trying to make Clion work with it. Stepping works (F8), it can't understand the variables though. (No variables in context)

are both working. Are you using bgdbserver 0.2?

Everything works from terminal. I can see variables and all.

It must be some idiosyncrasy of Clion.
(Btw, I was using bgdbserver 0.1, switched to 0.2 still the same issue on clion. )

And the angels sang with joy... :)


Very exciting! How anybody can develop in C without a decent debugger is unbelievable.

Me: "Boss, can we not just *buy* a debugger vs writing our own dev tools for each new platform?"
Boss: "Sure, if you buy it with your own money and use it in your own time. I don't pay you to write bugs."

back-on-topic: awesome work bebbo :)

How about gprof?
Aprof is good but doesn't work with bigger applications.

Great work!

I always had to debug my code with print statements....it was so painful :sad

A memory bug in ScummVM took me weeks to track down!

more generally great work creating a cross compiler suite which doesn't require this crap cygwin.

Hello!!
Im using GCC from Bebbo and works really good but I have problems with GDB in windows 10.
Each time I try it I have the next error : ‘The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)'
Im using a compiled version from https://github.com/SteveMoody73/amiga-gcc/releases
Any idea?
Im really happy with Bebbo's work anyway!

If you are desperate try this one https://franke.ms/download/setup-amiga-gcc.exe

will try this night. And thanks so much for this good work mate!!
