RE: [cdt-dev] CDT debugger question

["dmsubs" <dmsubs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mikhail,

Great - that gave me the hint I needed. It's slightly more involved as you
also have to define a debug configuration and set up the source lookup
paths, but it works great. However, I can import as many exe's into the
project as I want, so after the initial setup, it's all pretty easy.

Thanks very much for your help,
