Re: Help getting started debugging Emacs on macOS Sierra

[Itai Berli]

OK. So I've installed gdb, and rebuilt Emacs as Eli suggested. I have then imported the project to Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers (Oxygen Release 4.7.0). I have no trouble running the GUI from Eclipse. However, when when I try to debug it, I get the following error message:

---

'Launching emacs-26.0.50.1' has encountered a problem.

Error in final launch sequence

Failed to execute MI command:

-exec-run

Error message from debugger back end:

During startup program terminated with signal ?, Unknown signal.

I'm afraid it might clash with LLVM.

It won't break anything; although GDB consumes LLVM's output, it does not affect what LLVM does.

You don't need to rerun autogen.sh merely because you re-ran 'configure'.
