Release vs Debug Build

The targer designer allows you to select a release or a debug
build. I've never been able to get a debug build to boot. If I
select a release build, it boots, no other changes.

Hi, we (Embedded team) have a team blog and discuss things like this. Check
out this blog article regarding debug/release.

This has also been discussed in the newsgroup archives several times, there
may be additional information in one of those threads.

Thanks, so my reading of the blog entries of the "debug" option is that
its simply broken. Why don't you either fix it or remove it?

I guess it depends on your definition of broken. The option works, you just
don't have the debug binaries available to you, so the option is useless to
you until we ship them. Sorry for the confusion.

So, what steps do I need to take to get a working build when I select
the "debug" option.

Sorry I wasn't very clear then in my response. The next step would be for
the debug binaries to be shipped as an additional repository.

The tools, components and database support debug, but there are no binaries
made available yet. Currently, the only repositories shipped are for retail
binaries of the x86 architecture for Windows Client. The platform is
extensible enough to have coexisting windows platforms residing in the same
database for the following: retail/debug, client/server, x86/x64. All this
with almost no changes required to the tools or cmi or database and
component schema.
