A collegue and I where wondering some time ago if the binary windows
packages provided on the website are usable for debugging. Even
though there are separate release and debug distributions the debug
ones (at least the VS8 ones) don't seem to contain any .pdb files. I
remember him trying to debug some OSG application but he could not
get any symbol info for the OSG dlls. I've been out of windows
development for a long time so don't really have the overview
anymore. Can you have debug information in .lib files on windows or
are .pdb files always required?
You can have embedded debug info (pass /Z7 to the compiler instead of
the usual /Zi). I'm not sure if that's how the OSG debug packages
work, but it is possible.
Interesting, VS9's cl.exe reports that /Z7 option as "enable old-style
debug info". I guess progress isn't everything if you want integrated
debug information :)
