Debugging TAO

General

The PrismTech release TAO build is sufficient to enable client side code debugging. If there is a need to debug into TAO, then PrismTech provide separate debug builds.

Once you have installed a debug build, then it is recommended that the debug.tar.gz file is extracted into a new directory. e.g. <TAO Installation Directory>/debug.

Setting Up Your Environment

The TAO configuration should then be set up to use this new directory:

For Unix:

ACE_ROOT - Set this variable to point to the new debug directory, for example:
ACE_ROOT=<TAO Installation directory>/debug

TAO_ROOT - Set this variable to point to the new debug directory, for example:
TAO_ROOT=<TAO Installation directory>/debug/TAO

PATH - Append the TAO distribution's bin directory to your PATH environment variable, for example:
PATH=$PATH:<TAO Installation directory>/debug/bin

For Windows:

ACE_ROOT - Set this variable to point to the new debug directory, for example:
ACE_ROOT=<TAO Installation directory>\debug

TAO_ROOT - Set this variable to point to the new debug directory, for example:
TAO_ROOT=<TAO Installation directory>\debug\TAO

PATH - Append the TAO distribution's bin directory to your PATH environment variable, for example:
PATH=%PATH%;<TAO Installation directory>\debug\bin
