Unable to debug in MAC

[Gmail]

Hi Niko,

Yes I realized that too, I modified the cmake file and re-compiled gdb, then when I re-started kdvelop 
the gdb plugin was present, however, it does not work. Apparently, osx does not allow it to call fork() from a forked process without using exec() :

I do not see a quick solution for this that does not involved digging into the source code, I guess that is 
the reason gdb is not enabled for MAC and Windows

Jose
