Hello

We have compiled meta-toolchain-qt (Yocto dylan). Now we can run QT applications on Desktop (Ubuntu 12.04) and on target (iMX6 sabre Lite board). We can also debug the applications on board, but we can not debug on desktop.

When /usr/bin/gdb is started it starts automatically /usr/bin/python. It fails because Ubuntu python does not recognize sys.lib variable from /op/poky...python. We have found no way to tell gdb to start changing PYTHONHOME to Ubuntu python home to avoid the problem.

So we need to add gdb to the toolchain. If we get it to work, we suppose the /op/poky...gdb will start the /opt/poky...python (we test it and that python knows what sys.lib is).

We try to add to conf/local.conf: TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK_append = " nativesdk-gdb". But nativesdk-gdb is not a defined name.

try adding packagegroup-cross-canadian-${TRANSLATED_TARGET_ARCH} in TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK_append which will add cross toolchain to your sdk which includes cross gdb as well. There is no nativesdk-gdb afaik unless if someone says otherwise. see ./recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-cross-canadian.bb for details.
