    Hi everyone.
    I am trying to debug an old program of device driver which is made
    using c++, SDK and DDK toolkits. The final result of the code is a dll,
    which is the device driver for the printer. The code is divided into
    many directories. Every directory is making a static library. At last
    all the static libraries are producing the dll file which is the device
    driver.

    To compile the code and build the dll, i open the slick edit 6.0 and go
    to the makWin32.mak file and build it using the command "nmake". That
    command just builds the dll at the end of a big compilation.

    For debugging this application i am opening the file rundll32.dll in
    the vc++ 6.0 editor and doing the following steps:
    1. project->settings->General->Output file name->rundll32.exe
    2. project->settings->General->Browse info file name->rundll32.bcs
    3. project->settings->Debug->Exe for debug session->rundll32.exe
    4. project->settings->Debug->program
    arguments->printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /e /n "Name of the Driver"
    5. Now i opened all the .cpp and .h files in the vc++6.0 and added
    breakpoints at the locations i wanted to debug.

    When i run the application, i can easily debug the project.

    The problem is:
    1. For editing, i am bound to use slick-edit
    2. For compiling, i am bound to open shell in slickedit and compile
    using namke.
    3. For debugging, i am bound to use vc++ 6.0

    Can any one suggest me more portable and easy way, so that i can edit,
    compile and debug my project easily.

    ( The make files used in the project are not recognizable to the vc++
    6.0)

    Thanks,
    Saurabh Aggrawal
