Description minashokry 2008-01-02 10:13:48 UTC

when developing a native library (not native application) the options of "run" and "debug" are inactive.
so, if a problem occurs in the library it is very difficult to find it because of lacking of a debugger.

running or debugging libraries may be done by specifying the command line that launches an application that will load
and use the library like Microsoft Visual studio does.

Comment 2 tbrunhoff 2011-01-13 22:22:48 UTC

The run and debug are no longer inactive in 7.0, so I think this bug should be closed as fixed.

However, I'll reopen the other Bug 191812 because it is still not possible to debug a shared object built by netbeans but loaded by a binary that does not have symbols.
