How to debug a framework

[SkyStreak]

Using XCode.

I have compiled a framework ( in this case GLUT ) as "Development". I then include this framework in an application and run the application in the debugger. However the debugger will not let me 'step in' to a function in the GLUT framework. How can I do this?

Also - is there a way to see what the actual compile commands that XCode is using? The output window just lists the errors/warnings. Not the actual commands that generated them.

Can you confirm that the version of GLUT you compiled is the one being used by the application? If I remember correctly, OS X comes with a GLUT framework which you can't debug.

I added the glut framework by browsing to the framework that I had compiled and adding that. However it is hard to 'confirm' since I can't seem to see the actual compile commands. Thus my secondary question - since I had the same thought as you.

You can do a otool -L to get the list of libraries the executable is linked with (same as the ldd command on linux).

At least you'll know if you linked against the right thing.

Thx.

I add the GLUT framework by browseing to the GLUT framework I had built - but it's still grabbing the system version of GLUT. Looks like I'll have to set the framework search path to get it to work.
