Remote debugging in Windows

[Mark81]

Under Linux I'm able to debug a remote device, but I don't understand how to do the same under Windows 7 without installing QtCreator and the source code of the application on the target machine (not allowed).

Hi,

What exactly do you have at your disposition on your Windows machine ?

[Mark81]

@SGaist Both machines (dev and target) run Windows 7. On dev machine I can install and do everything I want. On target one I can install something as well but not the whole Qt and debugging in front of it. I mean, I cannot just turn it in a dev machine!

[SGaist]

So you want something like this ?

[Mark81]

Yes, or just the same you can do with Linux devices. The QtCreator doesn't offer a "Windows Device"... I don't understand why you can debug a Linux remote device but not a Windows one! Windows developers don't need to debug? :-)

@Mark81 Windows developers never fail ;)

Honestly, I guess the reason is, that Linux provides all tools like ssh and gdbserver out of the box. Windows doesn't.
