Hi,

I am planning to port some plugins to Houdini and wanted to find out how developer debug their plugins.

In XSI/Maya, on Windows, I compile a debugged version which produces an associated PDB file. I than launch the application and attach to it using Visual Studio 2003.

In Houdini, how do I specify that I wish to compile the plugin in debug mode and importantly, generate the PDB file so that I can trace the code and should an exception be thrown, I get a proper stack trace.

Cheers

Hey Nicholas!

Good to see you around again!

I can't really help you very much myself but have you investigated the -g option of hcustom which includes debugging information?

Just wanted to say hi,

Beauty mate! Hello from down under.

hcustom -g produces and copy the PDB file to the right location allowing me to attach to houdini.exe process and set breakpoint and view stack trace.

Cheers
