Qt Creator and other tools

Did you install Visual Studio 2013 on your computer ?

OK ... I went to the Projects view, clicked on "Build & Run", then "Manage Kits", cloned the auto-detected "Desktop Qt 5.3" kit, then made sure that the GDB in /usr/local/bin was selected, then clicked on "Make Default" at the right. BINGO!! :)) Now everything is working as it should, and I see 7.8.1 for the GDB version in the debugging output at the top.

The Microsoft debugging tools

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already had 4.8.2 as default kit. I suspect Creator simply opens the newest help first.

No, they are completely independent projects.

Did some searching, and found no suggestion for it. So I wrote one: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-13358

Try to open CMakeLists.txt (Hello world project) with qt creator. If it works too, check your first CMakeLists.txt format.

Can you open a bug report at bugreports.qt-project.org and attach the full debugger log? I don't really like spending my time on forums that require me to open up my browser setting for third party "apis" and "analytics"

You need to create a new layout (right click on a widget, select Lay Out-> layout you are interested in).

You're welcome ! Don't forget to also add a unit test for the mockup object to be sure it's acting correctly. If your question is answered, please update the thread title prepending [solved] so other forum users may know a solution has been found :)

I figured out that the headers reached with F2 are the headers of the kid, while the debugger uses the path defined in Qt sources. That leads to the next question: Is it possible (and non destructive) to change the header path in the kids definition to the Qt sources?
