Debugging Tips for Windows

First, have a look at the Using Eclipse page for how to use that program on Windows to debug Inkscape.

Second, make use of the View > Messages... dialog from within the program. Capturing the log here will show you messages printed with g_message(), g_warning(), and g_error()..

Finally, look into how to compile Eclipse as a command line app so you can capture debug messages at the prompt, more like you would do in Linux.
