Make sure the program is built into your circle bin directory. Select this by going to Project Settings,
and selecting the 'Link' Tab. From there, set the Category listbox to 'General' and under the Output Filename textbox, type the full
pathname (including executable) to the circle program. For example, c:\mymud\circle30bpl19\bin\circle.exe. Click 'Ok' when done.
(Always click 'Apply' or 'OK' - which ever is valid - if not otherwise told to, after changing any options or settings).
You will need to add arguments to it, you'll need to go Project Settings, and select the Debug tab.
Set the Category listbox to 'General', and you should see four lines below, where you can define your executable for the debug session,
working directory, program arguments, and a fourth about remote execution . For the purpose of running circlemud , you'll need to to
fill in the working directory, and arguments, these would be the base CircleMUD directory, and your standard arguments as if you were
running the program by hand (such as -q 4000 to run in quick-mode on port 4000).
Note:
In the future, you can run the debugger by simply pressing F5 - if this works for you. That's right, many versions of MSVC
(especially 5) will not work correctly with the hotkey;some don't enter debug mode, and others will attempt to compile without debugging
information for some unknown reason. It's fixed (so I'm told) in all versions of MSVC 6.0, which is - as of this writing - up to
patch level 5. The rest of you, take your best shot, hope it works. There's also a small menu button you can press, on the
'Build' and 'Build minibar'. They look like this:
