Run via External tools and point to your local nginx bin dir.

A few extra things might be needed for debugging  
([nginx discovery journey: Day 36 - nginx debug and valgrind from Eclipse](http://www.nginx-discovery.com/2011/03/day-36-nginx-debug-and-valgrind-from.html))  
but you just need to import nginx as a C/C++ project with Makefile.

Hope this helps,

A.

in gdb, you may need to ‘set follow-fork-mode child’ or detach the  
worker’s  
pid
