How can I use Eclipse to debug a (C/C++) console program running external from Eclipse? I'd like to click the Debug button to launch the external console (Cygwin shell in Windows; or Terminal in OS X) and break in main().

Not sure if this helps, but you can log messages to this website in a few lines of code (if your program has internet access). Its like a cloud based console.
