[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] debugging on real 770 ?

[From: Kimmo Hämäläinen]

Hi,

It's also possible to attach gdbserver to a process on the 770 and
use gdb on Scratchbox (with the same binary with symbols) so that it
talks with the gdbserver over the network. However, I have noticed that
attaching gdbserver succeeds only with some processes.

The advantage is that the runtime environment is really the 770, but you
need the symbols only on the Scratchbox copy of the binary.
