Debugger helper

[ktk]

This exact problem from the original post seems to still exist in latest version of QT Creator (1.3.1). Unable to rebuild the debugging helper, and get what look to be the same errors.



Followed these steps up until the last one, which no longer seems to be present in QTCreator, and it still complains about no debugger helper being present and will not show me the values of variables. Really terribly frustrating that it isn't even straight forward to do basic things like debug a QT application...

First of all, debugging works independently of the existence of the Debugging Helpers. They "only" provide a means to get a more direct display of types like QString, QHash, std::map etc. Without them you still have access to all your data.

Second, http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator/p...AskedQuestions does contain an answer to the question "The debugger does not work. What kind of information is helpful? "

Hi everyone!

I read this topic and many other, but still can't understand how fix this trouble "debugging helpers not found".
I have latest version of SDK Qt(4.6.2) and Qt Creator(2.0 beta -newer than SDK) to date:

Firstly I see to this, seems that's all right:

Secondly:

Elseone rebuilt qtc-debugger-helper:

But still have same message, and still can't see Qt types values in watch:
