Debugging in Eclipse

[ntp]

I'm trying to build/debug using the eclipse ide. I followed the directions found at:

http://www.joerg-reiling.de/qt4.0-eclipse3.1.0/

and it builds without a problem. However, everytime I try to launch it in the debugger, I get a Launching dialog with "Error creation session Exec error:Launching failed."

It runs fine in release mode. Is there a step that I am missing?

Thanks,
Nisha

Have you noticed Qt Eclipse Integration (http://trolltech.com/company/newsroom/announcements/press.2007-05-24.8884335791)?

Thanks, I hadn't seen that. I had only seen the java plugin.

I tried to download it and keep getting a problem with the page (for windows where I am currently working).

I found out that I need to compile the Qt sources with mingw (for windows) and remove all traces of Visual Studio paths from my INCLUDE and LIB environment variables to get the sources to compile. Because of other issues, I was unable to follow through with this but hopefully this should solve the problem for anyone else.

Is there any way of how to view Qt types (e.g. - QString) in user-friendly view (e.g. - ASCII representation) in Eclipse (like in VS) while debugging?

I've found just one way so far - opening QString variable in "Variables" window, then go to d->data. Copy pointer. Go to "Memory window". "Add memory monitor". Paste pointer. Then "Add ASCII rendering". Presto! We have unreadable ASCII representation of QString.

It takes too much time. Is there any other ways?

Add a watch for (QString)variable.

it doesn't solves the problem I've described.

Hello to all !!
On a windows machine i have installed qt4 mingw eclipse CDT and qt-eclipse integration 1.0.0.
I have build the debug libraries (after three days of searching way mingw32-make don't work :p)
(http://www.qtcentre.org/forum/f-installation-5/t-mingw32-make-multiple-target-patterns-error-10023.html)

and now i cannot debug my codes.
qt-eclipse integration is supposed to have the compiler/debugger options because during installation the wizard asked me for the path of the mingw installation.
Ok, to make it short... any suggestions how to use eclise to debug?

thanks a lot

So is there something like "Debugger Extension" (like in VS integration) for Eclipse to parse Qt classes? If no - is there any usability of eclipse integration app yet?
