You can use VS.NET's IDE to debug the native code parts of the SSCLI. The document file://c:/sscli/docs/debugging/debugging_overview.html#DebuggingUnmanage dSSCLICodeonWindows explains how to do it.
It isn't practical to build the SSCLI from within VS.NET: the SSCLI build process is very complex and it will be difficult to replicate all of the special tools, command-line arguments, and dependency information. Here is a hint if you are only making changes in clr\src\vm and want to rebuild more quickly than waiting for buildall... cd /d %CORBASE%\src\vm build <- this builds %CORBASE%\bin\rotor_x86\...\cee_wks.lib cd /d %CORBASE%\src\dlls\mscoree build -z <- this links cee_wks.lib and other libs to build sscoree.dll Barry -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of the Rotor Shared Source CLI implementation [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Hurlbut Sent: Friday, May 28, 2004 6:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [DOTNET-ROTOR] FW: Using Visusal Studio to build Rotor Sajay, If you can get it to work, that would be great info to mention. I am used to the command line, mainly because I work with Rotor in FreeBSD where there is no VS.NET ide -). Let us know your results if you try it.
