Since the abiword build uses the MS compiler, gdb can't be used for
debugging, right?
I'm also new to VC++, but I have had an uninstalled VC 5.0 for a few years.
When I use it to debug the ABI_OPT_DEBUG=1 build of AbiWord, the debugger
continually asks me to locate source files for it. There does not appear to
be a "the source tree is rooted here" command. It seems as if I need to
build .sbr files by giving the -Fr flag to cl, then using bscmake. Before I
launch into doing that, let me ask: is that the correct way to make
debugging "just work"?
Thanks.
