Title: [RESOLVED] debugger and resource compiler
Post by: antonien on January 30, 2011, 08:45:44 pm: Hi everybody !
I just switched to Visual Studio 2010 and tried to rebuild my programs.

1 - I can't launch a debug session ! Is there something that I missed ?

2 - Resource are not compiled :
-------------- Build: Debug in Edit2D ---------------

rc.exe /IC:\CBnightlybuild\wxWidgets-2.9.1\include /IC:\CBnightlybuild\wxWidgets-2.9.1\lib\vc_dll\mswud -foobj\Debug\resource.res resource.rc
Execution of 'rc.exe /IC:\CBnightlybuild\wxWidgets-2.9.1\include /IC:\CBnightlybuild\wxWidgets-2.9.1\lib\vc_dll\mswud -foobj\Debug\resource.res resource.rc' in 'D:\Jeux\CodeBlocks\Programmes\Edit2D' failed.

Anybody has an idea thant could help me ?

Thanks in advance

Best regards

If not, why do you think it will work?

Digging far into the forum, I found some interesting stuff on the way to install and declare the compiler.
It's not that easy for a non wizard. A comprehensive tutorial would be helpfull.

I still have a question to VC users: which debugger are you using and where can I find it?
Using Visual express integrated one is definitely not convenient!
Many thanks for your answer.

CDB is distributed with "debugging tools for windows".

Note: the debuggers branch handles CDB way better, so I advise you to use it instead of 10.05 or the normal nightlies.
