Environment variables in c++ via remote debug

[Lonko]

Hi,

we are building app on build machine and deploying to target arm box.

We need TZ environment variable set, so that all times in c++ are set correctly. But here comes a catch that i need a bit of help 🙂

If i start the compiled program directly in shell on target box and the program executes:

getenv("TZ") // returns  "MET-1MEDT,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/03:00" which is correct 

But when i do remote debugging

getenv("TZ") // it always returns NULL! 

Any idea how to solve this? Why in remote debugging the env variables are not set?

Best regards,
Lonko

Hi,

It’s a known bug that will be fixed in the next maintenance release. As a workaround, please switch the GDB mode to “Custom mode”, then click “customize” in the gdbserver command editor and specify your variables there.
