Installation

Learn how to install the components of IBM® Debug for Linux® on x86.

Debugger components

IBM Debug for Linux on x86 uses a client/server model composed of two components:

  • The debug engine (irmtdbgc), which is a server component installed on a Linux on x86 machine.
  • The debug client, Remote Debug Eclipse User Interface (p2 repository), that is available as a set of Eclipse features that extends an existing Eclipse instance and can be installed on a Linux on x86 or Windows 10 workstation.

Installing the Linux on x86 debug engine

The debug engine of IBM Debug for Linux on x86 is installed by default when you use the default installation utility provided with the product. See the Installation Guide for more information on installing the compiler and debug engine.

Installing the Linux on x86 or Windows 10 debug client

The debug client, Remote Debug Eclipse User Interface (p2 repository), is available as a set of Eclipse features that extend an existing Eclipse instance.

For more information on downloading the p2 repository and installing the features, see IBM Debug for Linux on x86 Remote Debug Eclipse User Interface installation.
