I've finally built a dynamic library... actually a framework...Yippeee

:-)

Now if it just worked correctly :-(

So how do I get the debugger to show me the source code inside the
library? I see the source in the test application that is linked
against the framework. However, when I step into a function that is
in the library, I just see assembler.

Any help appreciated... as always...

Open the dylib project. Set breakpoints. Open the Runtime Settings
panel, and set the host application field to point to the application
using the dylib. Hit debug (on the dylib project).

Thanks Ron,
Is this supposed to work when the target application is a command line
tool? I am not able to browse and select the application. I typed in
the full path to it instead. When I start debugging, I get this
message:

"Couldn't find the application to launch to start the debug session.
Choose the application to launch in the "Runtime Settings" pref panel.
If this is a Java project, the main class name setting may be
incorrect or main() is missing."

This is not a Java application and does have a main.

Could this have something to do with the Createor (????) and Type
(MEXE) of the target application?
