build problems with vc8

Hi,

 

I am using VC8 on Windows XP, and I tried to build the Helix DNA Client with a “-t embed_manifest” option because VC8 requires the manifest to be included in the binary (exe/dll).

 

It builds fine and the command-line player runs fine, but for some reason the .pdb files are not generated. Without them, when I try to debug the splay.exe in Visual Studio 2005, the symbols are not loaded and therefore debugging becomes very difficult.

 

Can someone suggest any build option that I should use so that the pdbs get generated along with libs and dlls and also the manifest gets included in the dll.

 

The BIF branch is <hxclient_3_1_0_atlas>

Target <splay&gt;

Profile <helix-client-all-defines>

 

Thanks,
