Debugging on mac osx problem

[cdiesh]

Hi, i've been using codelite fairly successfully but i never stopped to try and debug on mac osx yet. i'm trying to debug an app now but it doesn't seem to be loading all the way..

I have downloaded codelite 5.4
Mac OSX Mavericks 10.9.3

I am using clang from xcode, where g++ --version says it's an alias for clang
Apple LLVM version 5.1 (clang-503.0.40) (based on LLVM 3.4svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.2.0
Thread model: posix

I got gdb from homebrew -- GNU gdb (GDB) 7.7.1
Here's a log

Code: Select all

Any ideas? the app doesn't ever appear, it is a gui app, and i haven't had any ideas how to continue. Any help appreciated!

Thanks,

Hi Colin,
In the coming version (i.e. 6.0) codelite have a built-in support for LLDB (the next generation debugger)
Apple has dropped support for gdb and only lldb is supported (this is what Xcode is using)

Hopefully codelite 6.0 will be out in the coming week or so

Thanks! That sounds great. I will look forward to this
