[Solved] How to show Qt debug messages outside the debugger

andre

QxtLogger can install itself the hander for Qt's debug messages as well, and you can use several outputs for your logging info. StdErr/StdOut of course, but also files in different formats.

The qt += console suggestion given earlier only works on windows.

[quote author="Volker" date="1293097794"]On Mac OS X the debug output goes to the system logger. You can read it with the Console Application (Usually in /Applications/Utilities/Console.app).

For your own logging facilities "qInstallMsgHandler()":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qtglobal.html#qInstallMsgHandler is your friend (that's the solution Gerolf mentioned).

I once wrote a small GUI that collects the qXXX() messages. I can put it in the wiki on request.[/quote]

I think it would be great if you could make your "small GUI that collects the qXXX() messages" available to everyone.

@Volker, that would be really nice of you.

Yes, everyone would like such a handy tool.

I've added a "wiki page":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Browser_for_QDebug_output with the source code of the QDebug Log Output Browser.

I hope it is useful for somebody and of course feel free to ask, if you have questions.

Thanks Volker, fiddling with it at the moment... :-)

I added the .pro file, that was missing from the first version.
