Description

Hello and kudos on a very nice project.

The case I've got in mind is analogous to the 'Exe project file' option in VS. Is it possible to point VS at a Linux executable for example and then set up the project to use the MIEngine via remote GDB (or similar)?

edit: oops. missed this.

Many thanks

Research direction

Start with the MIEngine wiki page linked in the issue, “Start debugging other platforms using the MIEngine,” and compare it with the configuration question raised here. Done would be a clear, maintained explanation of whether an existing Linux executable can be configured for remote GDB debugging, or confirmation that the linked documentation already answers it.
