Visual Studio 2005 and debugging makefile projects

[MrDoomMaster]

Hi,

I'm currently using VS2005 (as a makefile project) to build a symbian application for the WINSCW platform (emulation). The process simply uses a makefile and a few command line parameters to build.

I am able to output debugging symbols, but I don't know how I can make Visual Studio use the debugging symbols so I can debug the application. I can "inject" into the process, but can't use any breakpoints due to not knowing how to force VS2005 to use the debugging symbols generated by the commandline compiler provided by Nokia.

Any idea on how to do this? I've done some googling but I can't figure out what exactly to search for.

Thanks!

Are you using the VS2005 compiler? It's not obvious (to me) from your post. Basically, if you're using another compiler then I don't think you can do this. Debugging symbols are typically propritary, in that only Visual Studio can read a PDB (i.e. you cannot read/debug an EXE that was created with VS, using the Borland IDE).
