Hi,

I'm trying to get a Visual C compiled program to run on Wine. I have the sources and full debug info for the PE part of the program. Obviously, however, it was not compiled on the same machine on which it is running.

To make things even more interesting, I would rather use some GUI frontend for the debugger.

As far as I can tell, I have two options to go about this:
1. Use Visual Studio's remote debugging
2. Use winedbg as a gdb backend for ddd

Option 1 fails miserably. I suspect the project is just too complex for Visual Studio to handle over the wire. When I try to do that, the Visual Studio front end (the one running on a Windows machine) crashes. This leaves me with just option 2.

When I try to run it like that (winedbg --gdb --no-start), winedbg starts ok. When I hook ddd to it, however, winedbg complains about a missing source file (one that is not in the Windows source, btw). In the mean while, ddd claims to time out on the connection, and closes down.

Am I missing something?
