Setting Visual Studio 2015 debugger
-
@DelNoble , @Chris Kawa
More information : i'm using W7 64b, and the 2015 has no dbg under W8. I think it's the reason of my first trouble.
I tried to load Windows SDK for W7, but the install failed.
I retry to use Qt with minGW, (my first attempt), but I'm stucked on the debug error "do not support python scripting...".
I deleted my minGW, et reloaded the latest version, carrefully installing the "mingw32_gdb_python" in the package.
But as I try to configure Qt kit with this debuger, it's marqued "Not recognised" in the type. Qt then has the error "Unable to create a debugger engine if the type "No engine"".
Where can I find a dbg runable with Qt and minGW, or, where can I find the information for a proper install ?
Thanks -

@Furkas Please don't hijack other people threads. If you want to ask about MinGW start another thread. MinGW is provided as an all-in-the-box option in the online installer for both commercial and free licenses.

@DelNoble The kits without exclamation marks look ok. The other two are missing a debugger (again - see the "Debugger" combo in their properties). For those just select a debugger from that combo and you should be good to go.

I am writing this for future reference.
Visual Studio 2015 installs Window SDK without debugger. You cannot change how it is installed at the moment of installation.
After installation you have to go to "Control Panel"->"Programs & Features" and select installed "Windows Software Development Kit". Then change the install to include debugger. -

@Chris-Kawa When we selected the Debugger in Kits tab, we also have to select the compiler.
Right now I am getting 4 options for compilers :
Which compiler should I choose in this case? -
Which compiler should I choose in this case?
Depends on what case that is. These are C and C++ compilers:
x86 - 32bit compiler producing 32bit binaries
amd64 - 64bit compiler producing 64bit binaries
amd64_x86 - 64bit cross-compiler producing 32bit binaries
x86_amd64 - 32bit cross-compiler producing 64bit binariesChoose the one you want for your project.
