    But the Qt Creator->Tools->Options->Debuggers is empty! How can I "verify the debugger option"? What do you mean by that?

    Thanks,
    Juan

      Ok, I got it! Sorry for that...

      My debugger is now set... BUT when I execute the EXE under the debugger I get:

      eERROR: Process crashed
      dCDB PROCESS FINISHED, status 1, exit code -1073741515
      dNOTE: ENGINE ILL ******
      dState changed from EngineSetupRequested(1) to EngineShutdownRequested(19) [master]
      dQUEUE: SHUTDOWN ENGINE
      dCALL: SHUTDOWN ENGINE
      dNOTE: ENGINE SHUTDOWN OK
      dState changed from EngineShutdownRequested(19) to EngineShutdownOk(21) [master]
      dState changed from EngineShutdownOk(21) to DebuggerFinished(22) [master]
      dQUEUE: FINISH DEBUGGER
      dNOTE: FINISH DEBUGGER
      dHANDLE RUNCONTROL FINISHED
      sDebugger finished.

      When I run it from Qt Creator but without debugging it also crashes:

      Starting C:\Qt\Examples\Qt-5.6\qtbase\sql\build-sqlbrowser-Desktop_Qt_5_6_0_MSVC2015_64bit-Debug\debug\sqlbrowser.exe...
      The program has unexpectedly finished.
      C:\Qt\Examples\Qt-5.6\qtbase\sql\build-sqlbrowser-Desktop_Qt_5_6_0_MSVC2015_64bit-Debug\debug\sqlbrowser.exe crashed.

      Last issue: although I have cmake in my system, I can't get that to be configured for neither of the projects I have tried. These projects are from the SQL examples that come with Qt 5.6

      Thank you very much for your help!!!

      Juan

        Is this an example or your own application ?

          This is one of the examples that come with Qt 5.6 -- the one called SqlBrowser

          The strange thing is that I can compile and run it/debug it perfectly fine from Qt Addin in Visual Studio 2015 Update 2

          Something entirely: although I have cmake in my system, I can't get that to be configured for neither of the projects I have tried. These projects are from the SQL examples that come with Qt 5.6

          Thanks for your help!!

            Just to be sure I understand you correctly, they fail to run with Qt Creator but not with Visual Studio ?

            cmake ? All the examples are using qmake.

              Yes SqlBrowser runs perfectly from Visual Studio but not in Qt Creator!!

                That's pretty strange situation I haven't hit yet…

                Since you're on 5.6.0, can you update to 5.6.1 or 5.7.0 to see if you are still experiencing this ?

                  I would have to download everything and compile because I use open source license

                  I think having the project open both in Visual Studio AND Qt Creator might have corrupted something don't you think??

                    What do you mean download everything and compile ? If you used the online installer you can simply update from the MaintenanceTool and you should be good to go.

                      Went to Qt origin and downloaded the online installer (called qt-unified-windows-x86-2.0.3-online.exe) and started executing it... when I got where I need to give the installation root, I tried C:\Qt but it says "The folder you selected already exists and contains an installation.. Choose a different target.."

                      So I was going to choose C:\QtNext ... however:

                      Was this the "MaintenanceTool" you suggested to use? It doesn't feel like that - it feels like a whole new installer...

                      ??

                          I am updating to 5.6.1 and will let you know if this cures the problem

                          Strangely there wasn't an option in the MaintenanceTool to update to 5.7???

                            Strange, in that case you can always try to grab the online installer again and check if it's available.

                              Ok, it now compiles and runs and can be debugged!

                              Just one thing: when I choose to use MySQL in this example, it does not find libmysql.dll...

                              What is the preferred way of telling the EXE where its DLLs are?

                              Regards,

                                Got it - I modified the PATH environment variable in the Kits tab of the Build & Run section of Tools->Options to include the directory containing libmysql.dll.

                                Is this the PREFERRED OFICIAL WAY TO MAKE DLLs AVAILABLE AT RUNTIME?

                                What if the EXE is run outside the Qt Creator environment?

                                Is there a way to copy dependent DLLs to the same directory that contains the EXE? Any such tool for instance? Maybe the tool uses Dumpbin to examine the EXE dependencies? Does this exist? Do you think this is a wise way to go?

                                Regards,
                                Juan

                                  From a Qt Creator perspective, it's one way to do it. You can also modify the the environment in the Run part of the Project panel.

                                  If the exe is run outside Qt Creator you have to take the same steps as you would when deploying on another computer. That part has been greatly simplified since windeployqt has been created.

                                  If some things aren't found, you'll have to copy them manually. In the case of MySQL, simply copy the .dll in the same folder as the application.

                                  On a side note, please don't use so much caps, in written language it's considered shouting and rude.

                                    I am sorry about the upper case!! Truly did not mean to be rude or shouting and specially to someone who has been so good and helpful!

                                    Great tips!
