VC++ 6.0 project configurations

Question

5.00/5 (1 vote)

I have a project that came with a piece of hardware.
The project has only a release configuration defined. I would like to add a debug configuration so I can run the program in the debugger.

Does anyone know how to do this?

There is a Configurations menu item under Build where a configuration can be added, but adding a debug configuration just creates a copy of the release configuration (there is a drop-down list for "Copy settings from:" that lists the release configuration as the only option).

Thanks in advance.

Solution 2

If you use the menu to go to Project > Settings, you get a dialog where you can configure each build.
Select the debug build (e.g. "Win32 Debug") from the combobox in the top left corner.
