           Summary: Using different debuggers for different build
                    configurations
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-bugs@kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: murphy.gebert@gmx.de


Version:           3.5.3 (using KDE 3.5.9)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

As KDevelop 3.5 supports cross compiling environments including remote
debugging quite well, I'm missing the possibility to override the default
debugger settings (as defined in the project settings) for any build
configuration.
Example: Consider having the configurations "debug (host)" and "debug
(target)". While I often test and debug my code on the host first (using the
preinstalled GDB), as soon as I deploy it to the target I need to change the
build configuration (conveniently by the project menu) *and* the debugger
settings (project menu -> project options -> Debugger -> debugger executable =
"<architecture>-gdb" + GDB config script = "/Path/To/connectToTarget.conf")
separately; if the wrong debugger is specified debugging would fail silently.
This is at least inconvenient, but too often confusing and annoying (esp. to
colleagues that aren't as experienced with the GNU toolchain, for whose I try
to provide a as-far-as-possible-ready-to-use devel environment).
