Debugging

rbuser

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but how do I tell Delphi
that I want to use the files in Rbuilder\source for debugging purposes?
I've got an app that's throwing an exception when I try to print, but
since I'm using the files in Rbuilder\lib, I can't trace it.

Thanks,
Aaron.

Aaron,
just include the source path of RB in the search path of your app

That's what I tried, but it isn't working.

With other packages, when the exception gets thrown, I will sometimes
get the dialog box 'Can't find file foo.pas, do you want to find it
yourself?', but I'm not getting that here. I have Stop on Delphi
Exceptions checked, and I have the Rbuilder\Source dir on my search
path, but when the exception gets thrown (somewhere in the Rbuilder
code), I don't get to see in the debugger what's causing the problem.

Thanks,
Aaron.

Be sure to remove the RBuilder/Lib entry in the library path. Do you have
multiple copies of the source on your machine? This problem can happen when
you have the same version of the source in two places, and you have the
breakpoint in the copy that is not in the library path. Perform a search
for all RB source fiels, pp*.* on your drives. There is an article in the
TechTips newsgroup in the Installation thread which shows how to find the
files in order to cleanup a corrupt installation.

Hi Aaron,

I would simply rebuild the application without runtime packages for
debugging purposes.
(looks like a pure Delphi question, no relation to ReportBuilder!)
