attaching to debugger

[michael_allan]

Dear Steve Lionel

I just switched from CVF 6.6 to Intel Fortran 9.0.028/MS

Developer Studio and have the following trivial problem:

I opened the Developer Studio, opened my Fortran/C++ mixed

language project (now called "Solution"?), succesfully

built the debug configuration, and attempt to debug it by

clicking on Debug/Start. But I obtain the message "No

Symbolic Information, 'iexplore.exe' does not contain

debugging information ... click OK to debug anyway". When

I click OK, the debuger launches the MS Internet Explorer.

I remember that when I clicked Debug/Start for the very

first time, it showed a window offering to click on "MS

Internet Explorer" (why?) and I unwisely clicked on it.

Now the debugger somehow assumes that "MS Internet

Explorer" is the default program to debug. But how do I

reverse it? I long tried to look in menus and Help, but

did not find a way. Closing Developer Studio and starting

it again does not do it.

When I first launch my program independently, then return

to the Developer Studio and click Debug/Processes and

attach my already running program, then I can debug it.

But this is not convenient.

How can I convince the Debugger that I want to debug my

own, currently opened "Solution" and not MS Internet

Explorer?

Thanks

Michael Allan

Haven't seen that one before.

Similarly to CVF, the path to the executable to run/debug is specified on the "Debug" property page of the executable project. The "Command" field should contain the value $(TargetPath) - this is a macro whose value is taken from the Linker output file property.

Make sure that the C or Fortran project that creates the EXE is set as the "startup project" (right click on project, Set as Startup Project.) This tells VS which project to run when you start in the debugger.

Dear Steve,

thanks for the prompt help!

this is what I had:
ELS_Win Property Pages/Config Properties/Debugging/Command:

c:11-MichaelFortranELS_Win_Intel$(OUTDIR)ELS_Win.exe
which is completely wrong (how did it get there?)
I changed it to $(TargetPath) as you wrote - it is OK

the second problem:
Property Pages/Common Properties/Startup Project had in it:
Single Startup Project: ELS_Win_lib
which appears to be wrong. I have two projects in the solution:

ELS_Win (the fortran part, primary)
ELS_Win_lib (the C++ part, secondary)

I changed it to: Single Startup Project: ELS_Win

now it works!!
