Configure CDB for QtCreator

Warning
The preferred debugger engine for debugging binaries of type 'x86-windows-msvc2010-pe-32bit'is not available.
The debugger engine 'Gdb engine' will be used as a fallback.
Details: There is no CDB binary available for binaries in format 'x86-windows-msvc2010-pe-32bit'

To configure tool chains, select Tools > Options > Build and Run > Tool Chains. The view lists the tool chains that Qt Creator detected automatically. You can add tool chains.


You need to set up the debugger only if the automatic setup fails, because the native debugger is missing (as is usually the case for the CDB debugger on Windows, which you always must install yourself) or because the installed version is not supported (e.g. when your system contains no, or an outdated version of GDB and you want to use a locally installed replacement instead).


Note: If you need to change parameters of an automatically detected toolchain, you can Clone the tool chain and change the parameters in the clone (to setup Debugger). Make sure to select the cloned tool chain in the build settings of your project.


Note: To use the debugging tools for Windows, you must install them and add the Symbol Server provided by Microsoft to the symbol search path of the debugger. For more information, see Setting the Symbol Server in Windows.


Note: To use the Free Software Foundation (FSF) version of GDB on Mac OS, you must sign it and modify your tool chain settings.
