noob here.  

I'd like to be able to step debug on the remote target from a windows hosted momentics 7.1.    The connection between 
host and target is tcp/ip running on default port 8000.   

Ifs on target is x86 generic.   Application built with qnx700 x86


I am able to Launch Mode 'Run'  from momentics to the target fine. (after running qconn on target).   It copies over and
 runs as expected.

However, when switching the momentics Launch Mode to 'Debug',   I have the issues (see attachment)

Error in final launch sequence
Error while launching command [gdb, --interpreter, mi2,--nx]
Error while launching command [gdb, --interpreter, mi2,--nx]
Cannot run program 'gdb'..Launching failed

So, I am missing something ...

is gdb supposed to be on the target (it's not).  

but I also read that i should run 
devc-pty &
pdebug 8000 &

Can anyone point me to a doc or provide an outline of steps needed?

thanks
