Hi,
I'm running a 64-bit Fedora guest on Fusion 2.0.3 and have added the following to my *.vmx file:
debugStub.listen.guest64 = 'TRUE'
debugStub.listen.guest64.remote = 'TRUE'
It appears VMware is picking this up as a see this in the vmware.log:
Apr 09 01:05:47.540: vmx| DICT debugStub.listen.guest64 = TRUE
Apr 09 01:05:47.540: vmx| DICT debugStub.listen.guest64.remote = TRUE
A little further down in the log I see this:
Apr 09 01:05:47.596: vmx| SOCKET creating new listening socket on port 8864
Apr 09 01:05:47.596: vmx| VMware Fusion is listening for debug connection on port 8864.
Apr 09 01:05:47.596: vmx| target remote localhost:8864
I was able to connect to the guest from the host via gdb, but I cannot connect via gdb from another machine. I checked netstat on the host, and I don't see port 8864 open at all. According to the MacOS X Security preference pane, my firewall is completely disabled.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
