Description Sven Fischer 2003-07-09 15:34:22 UTC 
Version:           Gideon (CVS) (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:          Linux

I am using a script to remotely start a gdb process. If the tty wouldn't be changed, the debugging process would work fine. But since the tty kdevelop uses isn't available remotely, the start of the application to be debugged fails.

So, make the execution of the tty command configurable.

Or, even better, make all commands customizable via text files with placeholders, so other debuggers could be integrated into gideon.

So, you're running *gdb* remotely. Is there a reason why you can't run gdb locally, and invoke gdbserver remotely? I'm not saying that KDevelop hardcoded tty setting is OK, just want to better understand your use case.
Comment 2 Sven Fischer 2005-08-19 15:09:34 UTC 
The reason is, the remote OS is QNX, which does not have a gdbserver. It has it's own remote debugging toolset for cross-platform development, which is not compatible with a Linux gdb.
