I have a visual studio c makefile project which I would like to run and debug from the IDE, however I am unsure how to set the remote debug target. When I attempt a remote debug, the remote target be set to root build folder and I get the message

GDB Failed with message /home/myuser/myprojects/mytestprog is a directory.

I would like to run /home/myuser/myprojects/mytestprog/bin/x86_64/debug/mytestprog but am not sure which property to set for remote execution.

In a typical remote project in Visual Studio there is a $(TargetFilename) macro, however this does not exist in a makefile project, and so I would like to know what to set instead.

Could someone advise please?

CodePudding user response：

The remote target program can be defined by setting the program property in the debug settings. e.g.

$(RemoteOutDir)mytestprog
