eclipse-cdt debugging doesn't work on FreeBSD 7.0 amd64?

[Moonkyung Ryu]

Thanks a lot Stephane!

I finally installed eclipse-devel and succeeded in debugging.
But I have a question.
Which debugger option do you usually use?
There are 3 debugger options
1. gdb/mi
2. gdb Debugger
3. gdbserver Debugger

To me, 3 doesn't work. I guess 3 is for remote debugging.
And then, what is the difference between 1 and 2?

Thanks.
