Well, the Subject kinda says it all.

I want to know how to get the Linux Kernel source to import as a new project in Eclipse.

I've had some trouble doing this, namely because of the LENGTHY indexing process. At some point in the process it failed to find some files. No, I can't remember where it failed. At that point I was so frustrated that I started over.

I don't have a problem running menuconfig in the shell, but I would like to have the rest of the build process in Eclipse. The line I need to use to build the kernel in the shell is "make && make modules_install && make install". I need to use this line because I am messing around with KGDB and module debugging.

Thanks in advance guys.

Okay, well, I worked this out. But as always, there are still problems.

This is the tutorial that worked for me. Following this post I was able to index the kernel. Attempting to build the kernel in Eclipse still fails, but it really isn't a problem because it is just as easy to build the kernel on the command line. So there it is, a working, indexed kernel project.

From this point, I would like to integrate this process with KGDB debugging. The kernel that I have indexed is a KGDB enabled build that I know functions properly. Befor I started workng with eclipse, I was able to get KGDB debugging working to my satisfaction (see my previous posts if interested).

Now here comes the trouble. I want to attach eclipse CDT debugging to an active KGDB enabled kernel. When I use a .gdbinit file, none of the commands are interpreted correctly. Namely, if I have "target remote /dev/ttyS0" in the .gdbinit file, I get a "Project is not currently being run" error box. Yet, if I copy the exact same command into the console box within eclipse, no error occurs. This is really a shame because that kind of eliminates the benefits of the GUI.

Does anyone have experience with remote debugging within eclipse? I would just like to know what settings I should use for configuring the debugging dialogue. I'm pretty sure that I want to use just the gdb debugger, as opposed to the gdbserver debugger for attaching to a remote gdb stub. Other things like shared libraries continue to confound me. I really don't want to overload this post with information about my problems, so I'll try to limit the details, suffice to say that I have been working on this for a while now and would appreciate any help you guys can give me.

Thanks in advance!

Can you please give the link to this tutorial that you have found.

It's been a while since I paid any attention to this issue, but I think that this is the tutorial that work for me.

Give it a try and let me know if this works for you. I can dive back into the bookmarks folder again if this is not what you were looking for.
