Hi! My main code is written in C. The makefile I use also includes 4 other C files (3 of which are in .o format). I've been attempting to debug my main file using the Visual C++ Express Edition editor/debugger, but haven't been able to figure out how to do this; when I run my code (in executable format) in Cygwin, no output appears in the debugger's "Show Output" window, whether or not a breakpoint is set in the code. But, there is no "run" option available in the Visual C++ editor itself, to run the code outside of Cygwin.
Does anyone have experience with debugging C code that depends on a Makefile containing other files? Which debugger do you use, and how do you accomplish your debugging?
Given that my main C file depends upon the other 4 files, it's hard for me to comprehend debugging the main file without also somehow involving the other files, as well...
Thanks in advance for your help.
