I know this is probably written somewhere and might be a target for an RTFM type of answer, but I have been able to find it so far... Some help would be much appreciated.
Basically, I am trying to use the Palm OS Debugger (not the PalmDebugger) that comes with the Palm OS Developer Suite to debug an application compiled with gcc. I was using gdb before, but would like to move to a more visual tool.
The source code doesn't show up when I load my .prc file into the Debugger. I presume that you have to load debugging symbols from another file in order to view the C source code. However, I have been unable to load the symbols for my program. I've tried loading the symbols from several different files, but the Debugger doesn't seem to recognize them. I've looked in the prc-tools gcc reference to see what compile flags need to be specified in order to generate a symbol file that is recognized by the Palm OS Debugger.
Does anyone know how to do this, or is it even possible?
Of course it's possible, as make files built with Palm OS Developer suite produce executables that can be debugged using Palm OS Debugger.
Why not make a sample standard make project and inspect its makefile?
Are you using -g on both the command lines for the compiler and linker?
