Solved Qt creator - msvc2015 32bit setup issue with stdio.h

[tom.abcd]

I have installed QT 5.6 using the installer and am using the msvc2015 compiler.
I originally had QT 5.3 installed but uninstalled that before installing QT5.6.
I have a simple app that I had compiled in 5.3 and I can successfully compile it in 5.6 also.
I am now adding to my simple app but when I include stdio.h I get lots of errors.
Here is one of the errors I am getting.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.10240.0\ucrt\corecrt_wstdio.h:318: error: C2664: 'int _vfwprintf_l(FILE *const ,const wchar_t *const ,const _locale_t,va_list)': cannot convert argument 3 from 'void *' to 'const _locale_t'
Since this is a standard header file that should work then I am guessing I have some setup issue with some compiler flag or something.

As a side note every time I start QT creator I get an error:
"gdb.exe - System Error"
"The program can't start because cygwin1.dll is missing from your computer.
Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

I am guessing that the 5.3 uninstall left some setting behind that 5.6 sees that causes it to try and load the gdb.exe but I no longer have gdb since I am using msvc2015 now.

Any suggestion on what to try next?

Thanks
Tom

Found out the stdio.h issue was cause by another .h file I was including.
Still working through what exactly in the other .h was causing the issue but if I did not include the other .h file then the stdio.h compiled ok.

I still have the GDB.exe error but I am thinking of asking that in another thread so the issue is in the title so people will see it easier and be more likely to respond.

Thanks

Hi,

Might be a silly question but are you sure you installed Qt for MSVC 2015 and not MinGW ?
