Hi,
I just started to try making some changes to the code. I'm using MSVC
2005 EE as IDE. But since we're compiling/building it using the gcc
tool, can I debug it in MSVC or should I use gdb? How should I start?
I read the online manual for developers but the debug chapter is
empty. I tried to start debugging in MSVC and wireshark did run, but
it didn't break at the breakpoint I set.
Many thanks,
Joshua
Several comments:
1. If possible, it's probably a good idea to use VS2008 EE since that's
what is being used for the standard Wireshark Windows builds.
(See the developer document).
2. Re:

I'm not sure what you mean here. The Windows build of Wireshark
uses the Microsoft compiler (not the GCC compiler) from the command
line (as well as using some cygwin stuff).
3. For debugging using VS see http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/Tips
