Debuggging

Post by sparxable » April 22nd, 2017, 3:00 pm

Trying to run Tutorial 7 Homework files in Visual Studio 2017 and I'm met with a ton of C:\ dll's which "Cannon find or open the PDB file."

I've set the Windows SDK verison in Engine Properties to the correct version.

Help a nub out.

If you can't build, you might've forgotten to extract all from the downloaded file

The PDB files are files are used for debugging I believe. They are created, depending on settings, to store the symbols (variables/function names/etc) so you can debug your exe file without the source code, or at least that's how I see them. You don't need them and you won't always have access to them if you weren't the library creator or weren't the one to compile the EXE/DLL file.
