devkitPPC gdb Error
Posted: Wed Aug 23, 2017 11:58 am
I am trying to use gdb, which comes with devkitPPC to debug a program.
I am able to it in .elf format:
and set breakpoints at the correct location:
but when I try to run it, it gives me an error:
Is there anything that I am doing wrong?
After looking around I am not even sure if I can debug the program from my computer. Do I need to run it on the Wii and connect to it using gdb somehow?
