Debugging in Windows

[hardgeus]

I have had a bug in my program since August detailed here:

http://www.qtcentre.org/forum/f-qt-programming-2/t-bizarre-bug-with-a-slot-15547.html

I still haven't been able to fix it, and I'm out of ideas. I have been building this project under Linux/gcc and Windows/MingW.

Now I am building in MSVC so I can use the debugger to step through my code, but I can't figure out how to set up the project. I have everything working using nmake, but I have no idea how to get source-level debugging working. Are there any tuturials out there in setting up MSVC projects for debugging QT apps?

you could use the console to send messages
for that add to your .pro this line


win32:CONFIG += console


and use qdebug() inside your code


qDebug() <<"message";


then follow the display in your console while running

Alternatively you could use the debug mode, I tested it under QT-creator it works fine for me (vista + Qt4.4.3 +ming) but I don't know with MS studio.

I hope this help

I had trouble getting it to work in Visual Studio .NET, but I was able to get everything working in the debugger with Visual Studio 6.0

Basically you have to run qmake as follows:

qmake -t vcapp -o myproject.dsp myproject.pro

This produces a .dsp file that you can pull into developer studio, and this will allow you to perform source-level debugging, breakpoints etc.
