8 years ago Well, I could link to the google cache instructions: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:o7hGlqTA778J:ntraft.com/installing-gdb-on-os-x-mavericks/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk
However, I wonder if they are still accurate/up-to-date? Do you think https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/BuildingOnDarwin would be a better link? I'm not an OS X user, so I can't really tell

8 years ago I think updating the user guide to say replace step 1 from https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/BuildingOnDarwin with 'brew install gdb' and following the rest of the steps, then going into keychain to ensure the self signed cert is always trusted should be a sufficient update. I could try my hand at writing a post explaining it all later on if that would help.

8 years ago The original link (http://ntraft.com/installing-gdb-on-os-x-mavericks/) is up again, so I will leave it in the UserGuide. But I think I will add a link to SO too: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33162757/how-to-install-gdb-debugger-in-mac-osx-el-capitan , both because it has more up-to-date information about newer OS X version, and Stack Overflow information is more likely to stay up.

The User Guide for configuring debugging on OS X points to http://ntraft.com/installing-gdb-on-os-x-mavericks/ which is down. It would be helpful if the text referencing the article indicated code signing steps are required after installing from Homebrew. This would have saved quite a bit of time troubleshooting the issue.
I was able to get gdb properly signed following the instructions here (with the extra step of ensuring that the self signed cert is always trusted, which is not set by default): https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/BuildingOnDarwin
