Hi,

I am compiling a Mach-O application with CW 9.1, but when I want to debug
it, the application launches but not the debugger.
If I quit the application and re-debug, I get a "the process is already
starting" error.
If I make my application crash, the IDE crashes with this stack frame:

I linked with STABS infos, so I tried to debug the app with XCode, but I can
only put breakpoints in the main(), and not in my C++ classes or in
PowerPlant. Is there something else to do to debug with XCode an application
compiled with CW 9?

Mac OS 10.3, dev tools 10.3, CW 9.1

Wow, we haven't even released a 9.1 update and you have it. I hope
everyone else doesn't want one too :)

It sounds like it isn't finding GDB I'd really need to know more about
your system to help.

Well, it's the "CW_9_1_Update_Installer.bin" from MPTP, I thought it was
kind of final, but I had the exact same problem with 9.0.

I finally found the problem: I'm linking with the StuffIt Engine framework
(from /Library/Frameworks). If I remove this framework (and the code that
use it), the debugger works.
I can reproduce the problem by adding the StuffIt framework to the C++
Toolbox Mach-O stationary.

For bugs with 9.0 report them to cw_bugs@metrowerks.com and you can
discuss them here.

for Beta stuff which you signed a Non Disclosure for report them to the
appropriate report and discuss them on the list server for that beta
product. You can not legally discuss such matters on this public
newsgroup.
