To step through code with the Microsoft developer tools needs theire own debugging symbols included in an executeable. So one could eigher create a project in VC and use this environment for debugging / stepping through the code or compile with MinGW + GDB (GNU debugger - command line). On osX, as I'd think you have access to, gcc is much better integrated, because of Xcode providing a debugging GUI for GDB. So a external, for instance jam compiled, binary with the debugging symbols included can be stepped through in Xcode. The binary needs just the -g option to the gcc compiler and possibly switched optimisations off by omiting the -Ox (-O3) option. Just to mention on Linux/BSD exists various GUI's. kind regards Kai-Uwe Behrmann -- developing for colour management www.behrmann.name + www.oyranos.org
