Qt Creator External Terminal Configuration

mrjj

I installed qt 5.5 in kubuntu.
I put
/usr/bin/xterm -hold -e in "Terminal"
and it display a xterm and stops at break points.
Only tested with some printf + fflush(stdout);

Seems ok?

well... let me explain my environment..

in my enterprise they use KDevelop to develop our system... I'm loading a CMakeList.txt project, not a .pro file. In the second place, I'm running an external application... my application is a pp_paraguay_suscripcion.mod, which is a library, is not an executable file.

I had set the Executable and Working directory configurations manually, which are in the Project configuration in the Run tab from the Kit which I use...

after that, I had set the xterm -hold -e configuration in the Terminal configuration...

I'm using Debian Wizzy... run my application work fine, the problem is when I try to debug it... With KDevelop I can do it well, but with QtCreator I can't because, the program wait for my input, and after I set my input, program run and finish without stop in any breakpoint...

that is my issue... maybe I'm missing something, but I don't know what

Im not sure it can work if not all are build in qt.

I assume pp_paraguay_suscripcion.mod is a .so
and you have another program you set "run" as to use as loader / main program. ( is that also build in qtCreator ?)

I have never tried a CMakeList project, but I assume it does set it for debug.

Have you tried something simple and seen that it can stop at break points ?

pp_paraguay_suscripcion.mod is an so and I have set run other program who load pp_paraguay_suscripcion.mod. Neither of then are build with QtCreator... they are build with KDevelop...

I have try only set breakpoint into the first function cal of my pp_paraguay_suscripcion.mod library, but QtCreator does not stop there...

that is my problem

mrjj

I have not tried with a non qt loader program.
Maybe I can later.
And you are 100% sure the pp_mod SO are in debug mode ?

SET(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Debug)
project(mybuildtype)

in top of CMakeList.txt ?

freddy311082

@mrjj yes because the same application I'm debugging it with KDevelop, is exactly the same :(

@freddy311082

Hmm , then i am out of suggestions.

The external application (the loader) is a kdevelop program, or completely external ?

Would it be possible to build that in QCreator too just to check?

freddy311082

the external application is an executable made it a time ago and I have not permission to its code.... QtCreator run the executable application, and in some point he stop running waiting for my input in console (in this case, xterm)... when I set the input, debugger does not stop... i can build my .mod file with qt creator, in fact, I made it many times, the problem is that the debugger does not stop...

tomorrow i will build again the app with qt creator and I'll tell you my frind

thanks for answer

Hi mrjj

I had compiled my .mod file with Qt Creator and debugger doesn't stop in the breakpoint

I cant compile with Qt Creator the main application who run and load my library, I don't have access to it, and I think that we are found a bug, because KDevelop stop in the break point and Qt Creator doesn't.

And I know that Qt Creator is running my application because I can see the my output messages at xterm console, but DEBUGGER DOESN'T STOP IN THE BREAKPOINTS !! :(

regards my friend, and thank you very much

Hi freddy

If I read here
http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-debugger-operating-modes.html
and Launching in Start External Mode
it should be as easy
Debug > Start Debugging > Start and Debug External Application.
and select your "main application"

So if that is not working, I guess you found a bug yes. As far as I understand
what you have/want.

@mrjj

well my friend, then we found a bug, because it doesn't work :(
