General
This document will explain how to debug CodeLite on Linux using CodeLite itself. I assume here that you are familiar with CodeLite and already cloned CodeLite sources from GitHub
Setup
- First, load CodeLite workspace file
LiteEditor.workspace and set the following:
- Active project is
CodeLiteIDE
- Set the workspace configuration to
CMake_Debug
- Open the project settings and navigate to the
Custom Build page
- Edit the
cmake target by double clicking it (or click on the Edit button)
- Replace
-DPREFIX=/home/eran/root to a location that suits you, e.g. -DPREFIX=/home/YOU/root (ofc, replace YOU with your real user name)
- Select the
General page and set the Executable to Run/Debug to the CodeLite binary location, in our example its: /home/YOU/root/bin/codelite
- Click
OK and close the project settings dialog
- Run
cmake from the build drop down menu:
- Build the project by clicking
F7 or by clicking on the build button
- When the build is done, run the
install target, this will install CodeLite under /home/YOU/root/bin
- You can now start debugging CodeLite by hitting
F5 or from the menu: Debugger->Start/Continue Debugger
