Carlo,

You are trying to connect to a GDB server (which only debugs 1 app)
with a client that is expecting a GDB remote _platform_. A platform
can list, launch and attach to processes, upload/download files, it
does NOT debug. There is a tool in the LLDB sources in
lldb/tools/lldb-platform which implements a lldb-platform. It is not
ready to be used yet, we have a platform branch where ongoing work is
happening:

svn co
http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/lldb/branches/lldb-platform-work
lldb-platform

So we have done a lot of work to start getting the platforms to work
as expected.

If you just want to debug, you want to use "process connect" to
connect to a process that you want to debug, not a platform. See the
CommandObjectProcessConnect::DoExecute() function to see how this is
done. Basically if you connect to a remote debugserver and it already
has a process it will be good to go. When you use "process connect",
it is expected that everything you need to debug is already on the
remote host.

So to sum up "platform connect" (see CommandObjectPlatformConnect) is
what you tried to do.

Here are some ways you can step through the existing LLDB driver code
to see things working:

mac% %
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/LLDB.framework/Resources/debugserver
localhost:3333 -- /bin/ls -lAF /tmp/ debugserver-194 for x86_64.
Listening to port 12345...

Now on your windows machine:

lldb.exe (lldb) platform select remote-macosx (lldb) target create
--arch x86_64-apple-macosx a.out (lldb) process connect
connect://192.168.178.2:3333

Does this make sense?


It does now, thanks... Is there something that should how to proceed from there? (from code or from lldb cmdline)? (ie what's the next step in debugging , get the process, do the first step, work with symbols?, not asking for all of them, just a starting point)
