I have an MACH-O application in CW9.3 which includes a framework that
interfaces to BSD Unix. The framework is a collection of previous unix
routines grouped together as a framework project. It includes the
standard BSD libs such as BSD_Runtime_Mach and others. The application
that uses this framework relys on some of the included libs within the
framework for C++ routines and methods. When compiled as an executable
all appears to run, however once put in debugging mode the debugger
appears to start but hangs at the terminal screen. I've been able in
the past to get it to debug if I use MSL but right now even that does
not appear to work. Any suggestions, beside the obvious of going to
XCode. I should but I can't seem to get PowerPlant into XCode
correctly.

Thanks in advanced.

I can't think of anything but the known bug where it hangs looking for
the runtime sources if break on C++ exceptions is enabled. If it is
then deselect it and lanuch again.

Ron, thanks for the data.

However that does not appear to be the problem. It looks like its at
the point where it tries to start the application but for some reasons
the app isn't responding so it sits there. If you click on the start
debugger button again the message comes back that, 'The process is
already starting.' The only thing you can do is shut down code warrior.
Nothing else seems to work. Sometimes code warrior won't resond, in
which case a force quit is the only thing that works.

I tried 9.6 upgrade but that doesn't seem to help. My guess is there is
a bug in MetroNub somewhere. BTW a posted a message saying I can't get
the C libs to complie in 9.6. These is a macro thats undefined. Any
solution for that?

I think you might need to do a clean install of CodeWarrior and do the
9.6 update. Also be sure you have the latest XCode tools as the 10.4.0
XCode hung a bit with CodeWarrior.
