I'll see your files.

From another hand I had no problem to debug any ROOT-based
application, built with NMAKE.

For that there are several ways.

For example one may start his applicaiton and start DevStudion,
then ATTACH debugger to the running application via:

"Build" -> "Debug" -> Attach to process" -> <The name of your application>

To build the "debug" information properly you should apply

/Zi option to compile

and

/DEBUG and /PDB options for linker.

I've attached a modified Makefile from test/Makefile to buidl a "PDB" - Program data base files. That dupplies a
symbolic information for Ms DevStudio Debugger to debug.

Try to apply this for your case.

Hope this helps.
