Hiya

Regarding gdb, i will skip that question in favor of more experienced team members.

Regarding make install - it depends on where do you want to install ReactOS. We use virtual machines for the sake of simplicity as well as good repeatability of results and errors. You can of course try to install bootcd on real hardware, but we dont recommend this way of testing at least until you know what are you trying to do. Apart from that, ReactOS is too unstable to be pushed and used on a production hardware, hence some dedicated testing machine should be used.

Please excuse me if my answer was not precise, but the question was too general.

I am just a new person who wants to debug ROS, so my questions may be stupid.

I have checked http://www.reactos.org/wiki/Debugging . It seems the
main debugging way is "Debugging through text messages" (I think it is
more like "checking logs"). If I want to use GDB, I have to use QEMU.
Would you please tell me is Kdbg the only way to debug code in VMWare
or VirtualBox?

And if I want to debug ReactOS, do I have to install QEMU or VMWare or
VirtualBox? Using "make install" in RosBE can generate many binary
files. Is there any build-in way to start ROS from these bin files
without any virtual machine?

Thank you in advance.
