, ,

This tutorial shows how create static and dynamic Linux libraries with Visual Studio and debug them with VisualGDB. We will create a simple Linux application with VisualGDB, add one static and one dynamic library to it and test both in the debugger.

To proceed with the tutorial you will need a Windows machine and a Linux machine. You can use 2 physical computers, a Windows computer running Linux inside VirtualBox/VMWare or vice versa.

Before you begin, install VisualGDB on your Windows machine.

  1. Follow the Linux Application tutorial to create a simple Linux app with Visual Studio. We will use LinuxApp as the project name. Build the app and ensure that you can debug it.
