Debugging MinGW build with VC++ 2005

[Andreas Pakulat]

Hi,

after registering myself with M$ (sigh) and getting the registration key
I was able to re-surrect my VC++ 2005 install.

However the instructions from techbase don't seem to work here, that is

a) I don't have a project-specific symbol path setting, only the one
under the global options
b) that global options-thing seems to expect .pdb files (so the same
problem as with windbg)
c) VC++ doesn't seem to use export symbols from dll's at all, at least
it doesn't find any debugging symbols whatsoever when trying to start
kdevelop.

So I'm wondering wether debugging a mingw-built executable in VC++ is
going to work at all, and if so what I'm doing wrong? If its not
possible I'll change the techbase page accordingly.

Andreas
