<p class=MsoNormal>I am building and running vbox 3.2.8 OSE on CentOS with a
Windows 2008 guest. But all attempts to enable the built-in vbox debugger have
failed. I read Chap 12 (Troubleshooting) of the vbox user manual and tried both
methods to enable the debugger (i.e. ./Virtualbox –debug –startvm
on command line and exporting the vbox debug variables; VBOX_GUI_DBG_ENABED/AUTO_SHOW).
But when I start the Virtualbox GUI (with the command line switches or
environment variables) I do not get a debug menu or windows. Interestingly if I
do a “Virtualbox –help” none of the switch options are debug
switches (as documented in the code). I’m not sure if this is an
indication that the debug features are not built into my version? I tried to
enable VBOX_WITH_DEBUGGING in LocalConfig.kmk – but my build broke
because of no ../Debugger facility in my source tree. I’m not sure what I
am doing wrong.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Could someone kindly assist me in how to properly enable the
vbox debugger in my build environment? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you in advance,<o:p></o:p></p>
