[ros-dev] gdb'ing reactOS

[Johannes Thoma]

Hi there,

When attempting to connect to a running (qemu) ReactOS VM via gdb I
get the following error:

(gdb) target remote localhost:1234
Remote debugging using localhost:1234
warning: No executable has been specified and target does not support
determining executable automatically.  Try using the "file" command.
Remote 'g' packet reply is too long (expected 308 bytes, got 536 bytes):

(followed by a long hex number).

I tried different processor settings, different ReactOS compilations and
different gdb's (Ubuntu's i686-w64-mingw32-gdb for example).

Is this a known issue? If so, is there a solution for it?

Ubuntu version where gdb and qemu are running is:

Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS

Thanks a lot for hints how to solve this,

Best regards,

- Johannes
