Running and Debugging Console Applications with Borland C++BuilderX

Borland C++BuilderX is a nice environment to start developping Symbian application. However, it does not allow - by default - to debug console based application (EXE) which is rather annoying. This is however possible but it requires to edit your project configuration. Enter ALT-F7 or enter the Project/Project Properties... menu. This should open the following window:

Select one of the two "Make & Run <your app>" or "Run <your app>" options and edit it (you need to do the following for the two options). This will now open the project configuration window for the specified action:

Replace the epoc.exe string in the Emulator Path field so that it points to your application (you probably have to enter z\your app.exe).

Validate. You can now run and debug your executable :-).
