I use gdb and cgdb to debug pktgen application on Ubuntu 14.04

sudo cgdb ./app/pktgen

Then
gdb> run -c 1f -n 2 Š

This works very well, but you need to make sure you compile DPDK and your
application with option -g or -g -O0

Using Œmake install T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-xclang¹ EXTRA_CFLAGS+=³-g
-O0"'
