I'd like to debug the PVR-testing branch on linux to see if i can help in it's development.

Can anyone recommend the best tools/ approach for this? I'm used to windows
IDEs and was wondering if there's anything similar I could use for xbmc on linux.

Should I use eclipse? Any suggestions for preferred tools or the best way to go about this appreciated.

I'm up and running with eclipse May try kdevelop later to see what it offers.

Learn how to use gdb.

I'm happy with kdevelop4. It's down to about one crash/hour, so quite usable
The debugger integration did make huge steps compared to kdev3, like hover to see variables etc.

kdevelop here too

vim + gdb + the allmighty printf

+1, don't forget bash! I'll use cdbg if I feel like humoring a crappy libgdb GUI wrapper.

You mean cdbg or cgdb?
