Assuming the sources are located inside /home/ohad/mydroid/external/dragons,

1. Create a “Standard Make C Project”.
2. Don’t use the default location. Instead, set it to /home/ohad/mydroid/external/dragons
3. Don’t use the default Build command. Instead, set it to /home/ohad/mydroid/external/dragons/make_dragons
4. Remove the “all” from the “Build (Incremental Build)” field, and uncheck “Clean”.
5. Finish.

Next, create those two files:

1. /home/ohad/mydroid/external/dragons/make_dragons

   #!/bin/bash
   ONE_SHOT_MAKEFILE=/home/ohad/mydroid/external/dragons/Android.mk make -C /home/ohad/mydroid files 2>&1 | sed -f /home/ohad/mydroid/external/dragons/android_sed_filter

2. /home/ohad/mydroid/external/dragons/android_sed_filter

   # Streamlined Editor filter for Android native development with Eclipse
   /WARNING: adding test OTA key/d
   /implicitly installing apns-conf_sdk.xml/d

By now, you can use Eclipse to build dragons. Let’s move on to debugging.

Assuming that your target IP is 10.0.0.2 and your Eclipse host IP is 10.0.0.1,

1. Create a “C/C++ Local Application” debug instance.
2. Set “C/C++ Application” to your dragons binary, e.g., to “/home/ohad/mydroid/out/target/product/myboard/symbols/system/bin/dragons” (ignore the ‘CPU not supported’ warning for now).
3. Choose “gdbserver Debugger”
4. Set “GDB debugger” to your toolchain’s gdb binary
5. Add “/home/ohad/mydroid/out/target/product/myboard/symbols/system/lib” to the “Shared Libraries” list tab.
6. Fill up the Connection tab (e.g., TCP, 10.0.0.2, 1234).

Everything’s in place now. Before starting a debug session, execute “gdbserver 10.0.0.1:1234 system/bin/dragons” (or gdbserver 10.0.0.1:1234 –attach <PID of dragons>).

Happy debugging
