Notice that this is early, things may or may not work at all.

1. Clone https://github.com/emoon/fs-uae and build according to instructions. (Mac tested in my case)
2. Clone ProDBG to this commit https://github.com/emoon/ProDBG/commit/a4a5c264a57b15d0325c585ff7995c31bb9216d4 and build according to instructions.
3. Configure ProDBG Amiga UAE Settings so it looks something like this https://www.dropbox.com/s/a87dpxdf273bi6i/config.png?dl=0 (Config can be left empty)
4. Make a test program and build it with vasm (or some other tool that can produce linedebug info)

Compile with these options (make sure to keep paths absolute) for vasm

vasm -m68000 -Fhunk -allhunksyms -linedebug /abs/path/to/file/HelloWorldTest.s -o hello.o
vlink -bamigahunk -Bstatic hello.o -o hello

_LVOCloseLibrary   EQU     -414
_LVOOpenLibrary    EQU     -552
_LVOOutput         EQU     -60
_LVOWrite          EQU     -48

                section code,code
start:
                move.l  $4.w,ExecBase

; open DOS.library

                move.l  ExecBase,a6
                lea     DosName,a1
                moveq   #0,d0
                jsr     _LVOOpenLibrary(a6)
                move.l  d0,DosBase

; Print "Hello World" message to standard output

                move.l  DosBase,a6
                jsr     _LVOOutput(a6)
                move.l  d0,d1
                move.l  #HelloWorldMessage,d2
                move.l  #HelloWorldMessageEnd-HelloWorldMessage,d3
                jsr     _LVOWrite(a6)

; Close dos.library

                move.l  DosBase,a1
                move.l  $4.w,a6
                jsr     _LVOCloseLibrary(a6)

                moveq   #0,d0
                rts

                section data,data

HelloWorldMessage
                dc.b    "Hello World!",10
HelloWorldMessageEnd

DosName         dc.b    "dos.library",0

                section bss,bss

ExecBase        ds.l    1
DosBase         ds.l    1

6. Open the source file in ProDBG (File -> Open)
7. Set a breakpoint at a valid line (F9)
8. Run the program using File -> Debug Amiga Executable... Select the generated hello above.
9. You should now be able to step in the program using F11 it should look something like this https://www.dropbox.com/s/18b3dzajv04rmro/debugging.png

Thanks!

I'm unsure. It looks like the headers aren't included for some reason in you Qt5 installation which sounds odd.

Unfortunately sharing the binary isn't that easy as it requires packing up the Qt5 frameworks to point to the correct location inside a bundle :/ This is something I haven't done yet. What you can try is to run bin/macosx/tundra/tundra2 -v macosx-clang-debug to get the full commandline displayed and see if it's actually trying to use the correct directories when it's compiling.

You wrote this btw: export QT5=/Users/fabricerobinet/Qt/5.7/clang_64 and then you did a listing in ~/Qt57/5.7/clang_64 those two directories doesn't match.

No idea what is going on here :( I would guess there is a miss-match between some potentially different Qt versions being installed but I don't know really.

Problem was missing include path pointing to QT5 in tundra.lua.

Oh really. That is interesting.
