# Debug using xds-gdb within an IDE

First the project you want to debug must be declared on an xds-server and this
project may also has been built using using XDS (see [Create your first AGL application](./4_build-first-app.html) for more details).

  - Open **C/C++** tab, in **Build Tools** sub-tab, click on **Add** button:

  - Then, you should set **Make Command** and **Debugger Command** to point to xds tools:

  - Select **Debug** category, and set:
    - Debug command: `/bin/true`
    - Working Directory: _empty field_
