Re: [Mingw-users] Good GUI debugger for MinGW?

[John P. <joh...@o2...>]

Giving Qt Creator a try but ran into this difficulty. I have a 'hello 
world' project created, compiled without errors and runs showing the 
output in the Application Output window. But when I click the debug 
button an Execution Error message box is shown with the message "The 
selected build of GDB does not support Python scripting. It cannot be 
used in Qt Creator".

I pointed Qt Creator to the debugger '\mingw\bin\gdb.exe'. Anyone any 
idea how to fix this problem.

Regards,
John
