Debugging the RIP code

Hi BIRD experts, My name is Soan Duong. I am a newbie of routing protocols, and of course of The BIRD internet routing daemon as well. I would like to get more understanding about one simple routing protocol (e.g. RIP) in BIRD by debugging the code step-by-step. However, I have got stuck at configuring the first step to run the code in Visual Studio C++. Could you guys please point me out how could I configure things in C++ to starting debugging. Any help you have to offer would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Soan -- DUONG Thi Minh Soan Skype: soan.duong
