I don't know if there is a guide. I figured it out myself, it isn't really that hard. - build the parts of OOo you are interested in debugging with debug=true, and copy the resulting DLLs into their place in the OOo installation - start OOo from Explorer, just as when using it normally - run the Visual Studio IDE. Attach the soffice.bin process. Open one of the source files that contains code you want to debug. Set breakpoints. - do whatever is needed in OOo to get the breakpoint to fire. Debug. If you want to debug the startup mechanism it obviously is a bit more complex, I can't give any simple instruction for that. Debugging works fine also if OOo is running on another machine (for instance a virtual machine) than the MSVS IDE. Just have the MSVS debugging monitor (look for msvsmon in your VS installlation, and copy that (small) folder to the machine where OOo is running, start msvsmon, and set it to allow remote debugging. (The first time you do this it will give detailled instructions if you need to open a "hole" in the Windows Firewall.) Then in the MSVS IDE, preferrably running on the machine where you built OOo (so that source files are found), attach to the process using the "Remote (Native only with no authentication)" transport, and as qualifierthe name or IP address of where msvsmon is running. --tml --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org
