I am having problems with wpa_supplicant not being able to authenticate to my AP on my current USB WIFI card, so I’ve decided to try to debug and see what’s going wrong, and maybe I can make it work. In this process I would like to be able to debug the app.
I’m not that proficient in linux IDEs. Can you recommend me an IDE that has a way to import an open source project and magically make it appear in the IDE so I can build and execute it?
You can try QtCreator IDE. The efforts of getting a “make”-based project into QtCreator are acceptable. If the project uses CMake as a build system, support is even better.
For generic projects:
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator-2.5/creator-project-generic.html
The IDE has everything you need, including debugger (gdb) and profiling (valgrind) support.
