<![CDATA[Gdb crashes before reaching main QT 5.1/Creator 2.7.0]]>Hi all,

after several hours of frustration because of a wired behaviour of gdb I hope some one here can give me a hint.

System: Win xp with latest service packs and updates installed.
QT: 5.1 Creator 2.7.2 MingW 4.8
Location: C:\Qt\Qt5.1.0

setting up a new project -> Applications ->QT gui Application

with designer adding Pushbutton to mainwindow and adding a slot to MainWindow.cpp

compiling Debug version
try to debug

getting a SIGSEGV in ntdll!RtlpWaitForCriticalSection before the programm reaches Main.

The wired thing is if I copy all needed dll to the build directory the programm runs as expected
Also if I compile the release version it starts and run as expected.

I have removed the installation and reinstall
(Qt Online Installer for Windows 32-bit (13 MB)
and after this does not work I tried
Qt 5.1.0 for Windows 32-bit (MinGW 4.8, OpenGL, 666 MB)
after removing the first one

I searched the net but no usable hint for my problem

I Hope someone here can help me.

Best regards
dexli

Thanks, I think this was the problem.

Do you have other versions of MinGW or Qt in your PATH? If so, remove them from your PATH.

Qt Creator 2.7.2 / Qt 5.1.0 (Win32) / MinGW 4.8

Source code:

#include <QCoreApplication>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
return a.exec();
}

No errors, no warnings.
Then I try to debug bug.exe :
