Dear Evgueni,

First an administrative thing: please don't send email to
rdkit-discuss-bounces; that email address doesn't do anything aside
from generate a bounce message to me. The correct address to send
email to this list is [email protected].

Assuming that I'm understanding the question correctly, I don't think
so. I'll answer in steps:

I no longer support the use of .sln files to build the RDKit. Dealing
with synchronizing the linux makefiles and two different sets of
visual studio projects just got to be too big of a hassle, so I
stopped worrying about the visual studio projects back when the RDKit
was switched to use boost.build. If you are really interested, old
versions of the project files can be found in the subversion
repository:
http://rdkit.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/rdkit/trunk/Code/Build.VC71/?pathrev=500
but please note that I cannot support these and that they are out of date.

As for having one big dll: that's also not something that is
supported. The functionality of the RDKit is broken across multiple
DLLs. This is a design choice and is, I believe, a good thing.

So two pieces of bad news, now something that's not completely bad:
You can debug RDKit code using Visual Studio on windows. If you build
in debug mode and throw an exception, you'll get the option to launch
the debugger. I assume that you can also attach to running processes,
but I haven't tried this.

Best Regards,
-greg
