Copying Debug files

[balachandar]

Hi,
We have a Visual C++ project. With each release,Every developer has to build the entire application in their own PCS. To avoid that we just compiled the application in one of the PCS and copied all the folders (Including Debugging information) into other developer PCs and registered all the dlls that were getting generated.

Now in the other developer PCS though the application is running we are not able to debug it. though break points are inserted , execution does not pass through?.

What needs to be done to fix this?. Is this approach correct?. Is there any way by which we can avoid every developer building the application individually.

Thanks and Regards
Balachandar Ganesan.

Having the debug info (ie the .pdb files) located in same dir as the executable being debugged usually solves the problem.

Are you sure you're debugging the right instance? Try starting the app and attach to it afterwards (Menu->Build->Start Debug->Attach to process...)
