I am having trouble debugging a console app using the lazarus IDE under
linux. The application uses readln and writeln statements to interact
with the user, there are no gui components in the app. The lazarus IDE
is far easier to use to control gdb than using the command line console
to debug the app (e.g. mouse hover).
I do understand that there is an issue with console apps where stdin and
stdout cannot be seperated between the running application and data for
gdb. But, isn't there some solution for this? I was looking at the Run
Parameters and see that there is a Launching Application and Display
(assuming this is for a remote X display)?
I can debug the app if I don't set either a Launching Application
(xterm) or a Display, but then I don't have any console I/O. The
application will sit on a readln statement waiting for input from a
stdin that doesn't exist. When I use a Launching Application (xterm),
then none of the breakpoints I set work. I haven't quite figured out
how to use the Display under Run Parameters to export to a console on
another machine.
Help! How do you do this?
Not in lazarus, it won't work. Figuring out how to debug an app started
in a xterm has low priorities for me.
The only thing I can think of is use gdb itself (or if you want some
frontend for gdb, use ddd)
