debugging exe and dll project in carbide 2.7

Question

I'm running carbide 2.7 with 9.3 SDK FP2. I have two projects, one is an animation dll TARGETTYPE ANI and another is an exe that will invoke it.

what is the way that i should debug this in the emulator? what do i need to change so both the exe and dll are deployed in the emulator and i get to debug them?

Well I don't have access right now to a working Carbide, but you will need surely the followings:

• load both projects to your workspace
• at the debugger configuration (something like Debug... or Debug settings, I don't remember), there is a "load symbols" options and then you have to select "from all projects in the workspace" or at least tick your two projects.
• sometimes this does not work. You can try to load the symbols at runtime, there will be a "load symbols from" somewhere in the menu system, you have to select your dll binary here.
• try to put a breakpoint at the entry point of your dll
• if you debug on the device ensure that you copy the debug variant of your binaries into the sis

Debugging multiple binaries in carbide is a bit of matter of luck, sometime you succeed sometime you don't as this part of carbide has some bugs. However it is definitely possible, I did it already in the past :)
