Help With SoftIce

Least, I so appreciate what you're doing. It's painful when you're struggling to understand and nothing is working. It is such a burden lifted when you find others who will help. The offer on the VMWARE and the DOS is super. I have been trying to bone up on DOS syntax and am anxious to get started again. With each start I get a little further. In one SI tut (SoftIce manual Release 2.5) they use a program called GDIDEMO (to debug as an example) and with DOS prompt C:\PROGRAM FILES\NUMEGA\DRIVERSTUDIO\SOFTICE\EXAMPLES\GDIDEMO>NMAKE. Must this be done to each program (NMAKE) before loading into symbol loader? Do you know where to get GDIDEMO.EXE?

Once again thanks so much,
d

In fact the nmake is program for automation of program compilation. It is part of (I think) every C compiler. Here it has debug info turned on (in the makefile), so when you debug it, you'll see to which lines the code belongs to. Also you need the exe to be run in the directory where sources are located. This means that this can be done only with programs, that you have with full source code. But this situation is quite rare in reality
The benefit is that you'll learn the basics.

To compile it, you have to load environment variables for your compiler, then run nmake with the right parameters (nmake /f makefile).
Good luck,

Thanks least. That��s interesting information. I found a printout of GDIDEMO done in C++ and I have installed Borland Turbo C++ (ver 3.0). With a little bit of luck I should be able to create the program and run the tut. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Suggestions? Well, check a mail
You should have two new things there (gdidemo too).

PS. Isn't that C you installed for DOS? If yes then you probably will have problems, since the program is made for windows(95 at least I think).

Ok least. I checked mail, nothing there except ads. If you sent something it didn't make it. Yes you're right. C was for dos...I didn't think about that. I also downloaded some other versions from ftp but haven't had time to work with yet. Also I checked my e-mail address and it seems to be ok.

Thanks again,
d

OK, I'm resending it now. If it won't make it, let me know and I'll make it another way

Thanks again least. I checked my profile again and made sure that the vcard option was available and worked with correct information. Nothing has come through yet but I'll keep checking.

Many thanks again,
