Bug#686312: kdbg can't start app

2012-09-22 Thread Philip Ashmore
Hi there. Can anyone else reproduce the problem? I could create a simple c++ program and compiled+linked it with the same flags as sbt2sbd-d and I could debug it just fine even with the old global options, so it's not just the one thing. Regards, Philip Ashmore -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to

Hi there. I just tried debugging the same program with Wheezy in VMware Player - it works fine so it looks like something in Sid. I'm running Trinity but I don't think that's the problem as kdbg used to work. I had to rebuild the package and its dependencies because of the older

It turns out that the VMware image I was testing with was an older Wheezy/sid image. I did a fresh VMware install with debian-wheezy-DI-b2-amd64-netinst.iso and guess what? I'm getting the same problem! Go figure. Sorry about the mis-information. Philip -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to
