Eclipse CDT远程调试（“附加到Applicaton”或“远程应用程序”）

Question

I just created a Amazon EC2 due to limited ram size on my workstation. Thus I need to figure out how to conduct remote debugging on this remote instance.

First of all, I am not quite sure I understand the difference between "Attach to Applicaton" or "Remote Application" in debugging configuration tab. From what I've learned, the first one is just using Eclipse as a front-end GUI to connect a remote gdbserver. But I have no idea what the second one means.

Right now I can connect to the gdbserver on my EC2. However, gdbserver gives me a warning message

Could not load vsyscall page because no executable was specified
try using the "file" command first.

I've already defined the executable as well as project in Eclipse's debugging page. Is there anything I missed?

I have done the same thing some time back and it was working absolutely fine and I have mentioned all the step in my blog. Check the link for detail description.
