A Question regarding the following thread: http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200309/msg00479.html
>>Hi, >>I am writing a plugin DLL under Windows and would like to know if anyone has >>a good method for debugging plugins. >>I compile my DLL and copy it to the c:\program files\ethereal\plugins\0.9.15 >>directory (which seems to be the only place that Ethereal looks for >>plugins). I can debug the Ethereal code OK, but MSVC++ can't find the plugin >>sources. I have tried adding the source directory in the options dialog, >>with no improvement. >>Regards, >>Chris Waters >The trick that I used was to set up a project workspace for the plug-in. >You've probably already done this. After you have the project set up you >can specify the ethereal EXE as the executable that hosts the DLL in the >Debug tab (Project Properties). After you copy the DLL (and PDB file) into >the plugins directory, you can debug the DLL from inside Dev Studio just >like you would debug anything else. >The other option is to put your plugin and the PDB into the plugins directory >and then specify the plugin in the "Additional DLLs" list in the Debug tab >for the Ethereal project. If you already have the project set up for Ethereal >and can debug it, then this is probably the easiest way to debug your plugin. >The trick is that both the DLL and its PDB file have to be placed into the >plugins directory. This is how Dev Studio knows how to find your source code. >Enjoy! >Dave Could anyone post such a demo workspace for a plugin dll -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm _______________________________________________ Ethereal-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ethereal.com/mailman/listinfo/ethereal-dev
