Just to clarify: while VS IDE integration is not required, it doesn't hurt, and can't be a reason of any failure like discussed here. >> 5. In Cygwin: instdir/program/soffice.exe >> 6.

The admin privileges request is most suspicious. I would blame it for everything, e.g. I could suspect that there is a problem that admin process working with other environment variables could simply be unable to find the symbols. There must not be an admin request. It needs clarification, if you use different users to run VS, and run LO. >> 7.

Of course, attaching to a running process doesn't need F5 until a breakpoint hit, or otherwise paused; when in pause, F5 would resume (and F10 would step over). -- Best regards, Mike Kaganski ________________________________ От: LibreOffice <[email protected]> от имени Miklos Vajna <[email protected]> Отправлено: 19 июля 2024 г. 9:14 Кому: Kira Tubo <[email protected]> Копия: [email protected] <[email protected]> Тема: Re: Debugging on Visual Studio (Windows) Hi Kira, On Thu, Jul 18, 2024 at 07:30:53PM -0700, Kira Tubo <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm having difficulty debugging using Visual Studio on Windows.

Add breakpoints to a .cxx file To be clear, this is for the IDE integration, debugging doesn't need that, it would be for tab completion while editing code, etc. If you just want to debug, you can simply open the file in question and put breakpoints there, no need for any kind of projects. > 5.

F5 to start debugging Not sure you need this step, possibly once you attach the debugger to the process, it'll wait for your breakpoint to be hit, so you don't have to start anything.
