I don't like IDEs so much. In my point of view, some times there are a lot of "magic" behind the scenes. When every thing works fine, ok, but when have any problem, I stuck with no clue what is actually happens.

Actually, I like to compile and debug directly on command line, and use Vim to edit. And use IDEs, when I'm a newbie on the technology or when I know exactly what is happen. IDE could be very useful for code completion, create make files, and so on.

So, I normally use Arduino IDE to do my programs for embedded systems. And I've already used  CodeBlocks when I had to write a C++ system.

But WRT problem, it looks like the GPS doesn't get to make gdb load symbols. Then I tried to find out where (or how) GPS runs gcc command to verify if it has any -g option.

I imagine there is some wrong configuration or any conflict with any gcc already installed. Does it make sense?

The program is working fine, only debug procedure is not working.

Thanks
