Next sentence seems to me incorrect:

"Execute the debug-helper.exe file to install the GNU Debugger (GDB)."

I would ask Uri Lublin for a help in this case.

Comment 1 Uri Lublin 2016-09-04 12:40:35 UTC
I think that when using mingw-virt-viewer-2.0-11 which is part of
rhevm-spice-client-4.0-3 debug-helper.exe is still needed.

Comment 2 Andrei Stepanov 2016-09-04 12:59:19 UTC
Uri ) I am talking about a sentence in the Documentation, particularly about:

"Execute the debug-helper.exe file to install the GNU Debugger (GDB)."

My point that debug-helper.exe --- cannot install GDB )

Yes, you are right.
debug-helper.exe is using gdb not installing it.

Note that when using console.vv file, command can be
similar to the one on Linux clients (e.g. from cmd):
remote-viewer.exe --spice-debug path-to-console.vv
That has to be done from path-to-virt-viewer-dir
(e.g. cd c:\program files\virt-viewer-$version; cd bin)

However stdout/stderr redirection into a file does not work (yet).

Comment 4 Uri Lublin 2016-09-05 12:34:04 UTC
Actually, I think we can remove this sentence.
It was helpful when using spice-active-x, but in 4.0 spice-active-x is
deprecated).

Instructions can be as simple as with Linux client.

Assigning to Emma for review.

Emma, you'll simply need to remove the outdated sentence from the Administration Guide.

Comment 6 Emma Heftman 2016-12-28 10:46:50 UTC
Pls. approve my change - I removed the sentence.
