Debugging on Linux?

Anyone have a good walk through or howto for a linux debugger?

I'm used to C# / MS type IDE's that let me step through code and have various watch tools for my objects. Does anything like that exist for the Linux Environment?

Thanks.

I've never used it, but this looks promising.

Just curious, when you 'debug' what do you do?

Just write values to the screen and see what you have?

Usually. I use the VC++ debugger if it's too complex for that though.

Use a debugger - the previous poster already showed you that.

You could try the following:

Eclipse (with CDT plugin)

kdevelop
http://developer.kde.org/documentati...8lev1sec6.html

I have worked in both and they were an easy transition from MS IDE for me.

Hope this helps.

You're all answers when it comes to help huh?

What do you want from us?

Help with searching the web?

Help with reading manual pages?

Tell me, how did you figure out how to use the visual studio debugger?

Learned the VS debugger because it is built into the IDE.

Thus far all my searches for Linux C++ IDE returned KDevelop results.

That's fine if I wish to program for KDE Environments, but what I'm really looking for is a command line application debugger...

all open source tools are command line. the gui tools are wrappers around the command line tools, and only have about 75% the functionality of the cli tool.

for gui debuggers there are several, both integrated into ide and stand alone.
they all are just a wrapper for gdb [ Gnu DeBugger ]

the cd burning gui tools are wrappers for cdrecord and makeisofs [creating disk images needs the latter :) ]
