debugger for c++ using eclipse on mac

Question

After I finally setup my mac to work with eclipse, I can't debug.

I've tried to google for help but non of the answers worked for me.

so, I need someone to help me install and use a debugger on eclipse for c\c++.

I have Xcode 5.0 installed.

Thanks for your help

You have got several options:

Install GDB with MacPorts or Homebrew, as mentioned by trojanfoe and Charles Chow.
Use LLDB-MI from LLDB team; note that LLDB-MI does not come with the native LLDB on OS X, meaning you have to build LLDB your own with options to switch on the feature.
Use third-party LLDB-MI2 (see the page for reasons why he needs another Machine Interface)

All of these three options require a lot of configuration and are error-prone. I guess you may want to think twice when you prefer Eclipse to Xcode on OS X.

It looks like eclipse doesn't support lldb, so you are probably better off ignoring the Xcode toolchain and instead installing Macports and g++/gdb from there:

$ sudo port install gcc49 gdb

It should then just be a case of setting up this new toolchain in eclipse; perhaps using:

how to add custom tool chain to eclipse CDT

(if not google "eclipse cdt configure toolchain")

brew.io - much nicer interface than macports and it doesn't want root privileges to run – Anya Shenanigans Oct 23 '13 at 08:45

@Petesh Each to his own, but I prefer macports. – trojanfoe Oct 23 '13 at 08:46
I cant find any tutorial explaining how to install macports on OSX mavericks. – Roy Weinstein Oct 23 '13 at 12:18
@RoyWeinstein Ah, yeah that will be a problem as I don't believe they've released for Mavericks yet. I run on my Mavericks using the "trunk" version of macports which works fine. Check this: https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/RunningTrunk – trojanfoe Oct 23 '13 at 12:29

I found this tutorial teaches you how to install and setup GDB for eclipse on Mac OS X. It works on my machine. You need install Home Brew first.
