The xcode (v2.4) doc on attaching to a running process does not adequately describe what I need to do in order to attach to a running process.?

I do not have the luxury of launching this directly, but have to attach it once the process receives a request (the process is launched/controlled by another process).? ?Moreover, the project was not built via xcode, but through gcc/make.?

XCode's attach is kind of flaky at times.  I've had my best luck attaching by creating an executable rather than attempting to attach to a running process.  For running processes I typically only get it to work by typing ps -aux at the command line and then using the attach to Process ID.  When I try to attach to one of the applications listed it often doesn't work correctly.

I don't know if this will work if the project was built via make depending upon how the debugging flags were set.
