Setting up QT Creator Debugger on Windows
-
When we are going to debug a program in Qt Creator by pressing F5, F10, or F11 we need to have cdb.exe installed on the system or it shows the following message:
“Unable to create a debugging engine”
To install cdb.exe on windows we need to do the following steps:• Go to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/
• Click get the Windows SDK here, download the installer and run it
• Uncheck all boxes but “Debugging Tools for Windows” and wait until it installs
• Go to Qt Creator setting and click Manage Kits
• Select auto detected kit and find the debugger at its property section
• Click on the manage and specify to the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x64\cdb.exe
• Everything works well now 😊
