Compiling, Debugging, and Simulator Ideas

Where to compile

• compile on local system
• on a remote system (arm develeopment board)
• in a VM/container (with GNOME Continuous)

Where to run

• Simulator
  • Boxes-like VM
  • GNOME Continuous
  • Download manager for OSTree/Continuous
    • know what versions of SDK are downloaded
• Remote Device
  • Tablet
  • Phone
  • Development board

Debugging Workspace

Nemiver

• Embed nemiver for debugging
  • Need to figure out how to integrate gtkmm (which nemiver is written in) into a C Gtk+ widget (probably requires a single .cpp file in Builder)

Remote Debugging

• Maybe use Android's adb tool
• best case: adb might implement gdb's server API, which would Just Work™
• might be able to run gdb via a pipe over adb
• try running adb-server (if that's what it's called) on another GNOME machine and see what can be done…
  • opening windows?
  • debugging?
  • maybe add a "Developer" section to gnome-control-center
    • Enable Debugging over USB
    • Enable debugging over TCP (Advertise via Avahi)
  • This would allow us to debug android too
    • Explore GTK+ on Android?
