Re opning topic: Run bash script before remote debugging

[usercb2017]

Hello guys,

i create this post 'cause i need to copy my binaries to a remote target device (i'm running C::B on windows)and also launch gdbserver from the host.

I tried all the suggestions posted in the following topic: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=19279.0 but, unfortunately, these didn't work for me. I'm on 16.01 CB.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

A simply won't work is not enough information...

Some logs? Some error descriptions? Some detailed description of what you are doing, what happens and what should happen?

This sounds like your remote target is not a windows host? Some detailed description of the host, target? What connection are you planning to use?

[EDIT:] Sorry, i over read the title... Your question is to run a script before the debugger on the target? My questions above are still valid.

Hello guys,

Sorry for my poor explanations....

@BlueHazzard:
=> my remote host is an embedded linux. I connect to it via SSH.

=> I would like to execute a script before the debugger started in order to copy my binary to the remote target, enable the rights on it and then launch gdbserver for this binary. is that clear enough?

Here is the procedure i followed:
- Configure the remote connection tab with target IP address and gdbserver port
- Enter some command lines on both "additionnal tab" (i did that for both cause i would like to identify when those commands will be executed). I simply populate the fields with a single "pscp command line describe below". For the "GDB" tab i used  shell before the command line.

Command line used : shell C:\cp\od\Putty\pscp.exe -scp -r -pw ....... "C:\Users\mbarril\Documents\Codeblocks project\test command linesw\bin\Debug" user@192.10.200.200:/home/user

Finally, i find out the root cause. it was due to the "$" in the password populated in the pscp command line. But i still have one question:

Could you please tell me when these tabs will execute the command lines populated in there?

Thank you in advance

Additional GDB commands tab has two windows. "Before connection" and "After connection"
Commands in those windows are issued (as described) before or after a good connection to a gdb server.

Examples:
monitor reset
load

Commands in the "Additional Shells" tab also have two windows entitled Before connection and after connection. These command are wrapped by a "Shell " command and queued Before or after connection to the gdb server.
Example:
cmd /c start "GdbServer" "c:\usrPrograms\st-util.exe" -v

In setting/debugger/common, turn on full (debug) log.
You will then see when commands are issued in the Debugger log.
Look for the keyword "connected" in the log.
