How can I set up debugging for cross-compiled files?
lazarus / 12-Debugger

Windows 10 brings WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), which allows to
run cross-compiled linux ELF binaries (for the same hardware)
natively.

gdb is available in WSL.

Challenge 1: Lazarus tells me gdb is not found. My fpcupdeluxe
Installation looks for it in the fpcbootstrap\gdb\x86_64-linux\
folder. I can wrap up a small wrapper that calls "wsl gdb" and place
it there to continue.

Challenge 2: Lazarus won't debug my executable, because the path is
different. Forward input and output streams and manipulating them to
change \ to / and prepend /mnt/c/ to the executing call is far from
what I could do in a spare minute though.

Has anyone had success in debugging Linux binaries on Windows through
WSL?
