<br><a href="http://www.erlang.org/doc/tutorial/c_portdriver.html" target="_blank">http://www.erlang.org/doc/<wbr>tutorial/c_portdriver.html</a>

<br>And I'm trying to get it to run on Windows.  I reordered the code in the C

<br>source so that it compiles, and added a module.def file so that erlang

actually finds and executes the driver init function.

<br>

<br>I attached a debugger.  Walking back up the stack, I observe that:

The driver init function returns correctly.

erts_sys_ddll_call_init() returns correctly.

do_load_driver_entry() returns ERL_DE_NO_ERROR.

load_driver_entry() returns ERL_DE_NO_ERROR.

<br>erl_ddll_try_load_3 returns t = TUPLE2(hp, am_ok, ok_term); on line 417 of

erl_bif_ddl.c.

<br>But the next higher call on the stack is _process_main(), which was compiled

<br>with gcc and has no debug symbols so I can't step through and figure out why

<br>the end result is:

<br>

<br>=ERROR REPORT==== 2-Jan-2013::19:14:22 ===

<br>Error in process <0.31.0> with exit value:

<br>{enoent,[{erlang,open_port,[{<wbr>spawn,"example_drv"},[]],[]},{<wbr>complex5,init,1,[

<br>{file,"c:/Users/jeff/code/<wbr>code/port_driver/complex5.erl"<wbr>},{line,19}]}]}

<br>

Has anyone seen this before?

<br>

<br>If not, how do I recompile erl.exe purely with cl.exe (no gcc) so that it

<br>generates debug symbols?  And while I'm recompiling, how do I turn off all

<br>optimizations?  I can read basic make files, but I get lost in the configure

<br>scripts and .in and .mk files.  Please take pity on a Windows programmer ;-)
