Debugging libVLC

OK - I finally got VLC 1.2 to build using msys! I am able to import in vlc.exe and libvlccore.dll into Eclipse in windows and debug. Only remaining issue (knock on wood) is that when I load up libVlc.dll I cannot access its internals. See pictures below.... First shows LibVLCCore.dll which I can see components of to allow me to debug, and the second picture shows when I try to bring up the internals of libvlc.dll which fails...

So close!

No idea. You didn't strip it?

Hi Mr. Kempf,

Thank you for looking at my posts... making progress! :-) Below is a .jpg showing the sizes of the vlc exe and dlls in both the debug and non-debug builds - the debug files are all quite a bit larger than their counter parts.

Soooooooooooo, at this point I am assuming the builds are correct but for some reason Eclipse has trouble interpretting the one file but not the others, which is a bit odd (image of debug error below).

I will try to play with debug settings for that one file... This very well may be an issue I need to take up wt Eclipse forums if I cant figure it out on my own, but If you are aware of something I could try such as a build option, please let me know!

Thanks much on all fronts - exciting project.

Steve

Never used eclipse, so I don't know. I use QtCreator and gdb
