Hello,
I'm trying to debug a program that I'm writing with Lazarus, and it
require root privileges, but I do not want Lazarus to run as root,
only the program itself for debug.
How can I do that ?
I have not tried it, but maybe if you replace "/usr/bin/gdb" (in the IDE
opions dialog) with "sudo /usr/bin/gdb" ?
Of course that affects all projects.
But afaik you can't use a starter app , because then gdb will attempt to
debug the starter app....
I've had this sort of requirement in the past, specifically when using
libusb (i.e. the program needed sufficient privilege to grab the device).
I wonder whether setting either Lazarus or gdb setuid root would help?
