Help for New to TCL Dev Kit (Remote Debugging)

Posted by william_jones@adp.com on 2007-08-06 14:28

Hi and thanks in advance,

I am new to the active state products and would liek some help figuring out how to use them. I am currently on a trail product to evaluate the advantages.

Here is my development environment:

The TCL/expect code runs on a stripped down Linux machine. It does not not have the X libraries loaded.

I have Komodo IDE and the TCL DEV KIT loaded on a Windows XP workstation. All source control is performed using eclipse CVS.

Question: Is there a way to debug the tcl/expect code, that is running on the Linux machine using teh tools loaded on my Windows XP workstation. The nature of the code (Spawn of custom program on the linux system) prevents the running and debugging of teh code on the Windows XP workstation.

What products have to be loaded where?
Do I have to intrument the code?
How do I configure the active state applications.

If this is documented somewhere please save your time and send me the link(s).

Thanks,

William Jones

Yes, it is possible to debug remotely with the Tcl Dev Kit and Komodo. This is documented for the TDK at:

and for Komodo at:
