I'm having trouble using xcxdb debug my exe using the Xcode debugger.

I have downloaded the xcxdb-Installation tools and run the install-xcxdb.sh
script with no reported errors.
I have updated the retargetBundle.m file to automatic generation of
the xcxdb files. The files are being generated.
However, each time I try to compile and debug my exe, the Xcode console
reports the following:

Is there another build setting that I am forgetting to change?

You've already gotten much further than I have. Where have you downloaded
xcxdb from?
I've resorted to manual remote debugging because I could not find it online
anymore.

Thanks,

I orginally got the files from this link -
http://cocotron-dev.googlegroups.com/web/xcxdb-Installation.tar.gz

The mod date on the install-xcxdb.sh file is 10/2/08.

I'm on 10.6.8 and Xcode 3.2.6 as well. If someone re-uploads the file (or
post where it could still be found) I'll certainly try it out myself.
OTOH I might upgrade soon as Xcode 3.2.6's buggy debugger is no fun to work
with.

I finally found a copy at
http://projectswithlove.com/projects/xcxdb-Installation.zip

Since I had built a working gdbserver already I've not
run install-xcxdb.sh, but just used what I had. With that, I can now build
the template project, copy it onver to the Windows machine, start gdbserver
there and then start up the executable on the Windows machine by pressing
the "Build and Debug" button in Xcode.

The "only" missing bit is that the executable is not under control of
Xcode. So for now I'm continuing with remote debugging without Xcode from
the console.

Comparing my screen output with yours, it appears to me that in your case
the wrong debugger gets started (the Apple one, instead of the newly built
gdb with remote debugging capability). For me the output in case of a
failed startup reads (in case of a successful startup, this output seems to
get inhibited):
