I am experiencing some difficulty trying to go into debug mode in eclipse. Unfortunately I'm quite new to QT & eclipse, so I am not sure what i'm looking for.

When I click run, it runs the application. When I click debug it errors out with "Launching failed".

I would like to step through my code and start to utilize eclipse a bit more (right now it's nothing more than a text editor).

I used the trolltech installer to install mingw. I think it may have installed mingw, but not the mingw debugger. Would you know of a way to test, if the debugger is installed? (name of file, or command line test?)

It may also be that I haven't configured the debugging settings properly for my project, could you give me some tips on doing this as well?

Thank you,

Jeremy

Thanks for the tip. The debugger was not installed as you stated.

Good way to check is to look for gdb in windows:

c:\Directory_MinGW_Located\bin\gdb.exe

I downloaded it here: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb/

but I'm sure lishi's link will work.

I'm now able to step through code. I am having trouble viewing qstrings, but I believe it has something to do with setting up a .gdbinit file. I'll post a solution if I am able to figure it out.
