Debugger helper

[wysota]

Unfortunately for me it just works... I'm currently running under Linux with Qt 4.5.0 installed.

Did you compile Qt yourself?

[JohnToddSr]

As I said in an earlier post, I was able to compile it fine under Linux. However, I am trying to compile it under Windows XP, service pack 3, using Qt 4.5.1. I'm wondering if it cannot be compiled under Windows XP, (or any windows for that matter). Has anyone been able to compile Debugger Helper under Microsoft Windows at all and, if so, how did you do it?

Thanks

[wysota]

But how did you install Qt on Windows?

[JohnToddSr]

I built it using the MinGW compiler version 3.4.5. Static build with debugging.

Then probably the static nature of your Qt bundle is causing the trouble. It seems the compilation can't access your Qt libs using -lQtCored and -lQtGuid. You might try compiling the helper manually substituting the faulty compiler call with a hand-crafted proper one.

[JohnToddSr]

First off, let me say something that I should have said earlier...thank you for your help with all this. I do appreciate the time your taking to help me fix this. I also think you're probably right about the static install. I have to confess, however, that I'm a little confused on how to create a proper compiler call. Could you give me an example of something like what you're talking about?

Thanks again

[wysota]

I'm not sure if it is possible at all but if I were to try, I would take the line the linker complained against and I'd substitute the -lQtXXX entries with proper static equivalents (libQtCored.a or something like that).

By the way, developping in a static environment compiled in debug mode is... weird Consider developping using dynamic libraries and only do the final link against static-release build of Qt when you give the application to the client.

Have you tried removing all references to any Visual Studio directories in your system LIB and INCLUDE environment variables?

I had the same problem, and I solved it by actually deleting those two system variables from Control Panel-->System-->Advanced-->Environment Variables.
