You can build the Essential Tools Module library in a debug mode, and gain a very powerful tool for uncovering and correcting internal errors in your code. You build the library in debug mode by selecting the debug option in the Rogue Wave Component Builder (RCB). See Installing and Building Your SourcePro Products.

To debug your application that depends on the Essential Tools Module library, you must also build the application in debug mode. To ensure your application is compatible with the settings used to build the Essential Tools Module, examine the settings generated by the command line macro _RWCONFIG, as described in Chapter 1, “The Basics,” in Rogue Wave Component Builder (RCB): Building Your Applications. The makefile for the Essential Tools Module build might also prove useful.
