Hi
I'm trying to set up Qt Creator for debugging on a "bare metal" device.
(ARM system, using JTAG POD with built-in GDB server.)
I think I can generally get this to work, but I'm experiencing an issue
with the Run configuration: It seems like Qt Creator variables can't be
used in "Executable" and "Working directory" settings. I mean, I get the
normal "variables" icon and can select from a list etc., but it looks
like nothing is ever expanded; if for instance I set Executable to
"%{sourceDir}/executablename" and try to start debugging, I get
Cannot debug: Could not find executable for "%{sourceDir}/exectablename".
in the Application Output view.
Note that I see this only for settings connected to the kit for my
device. With the same configuration under Desktop, the debugger is
started as expected, or if the file is actually missing, "%{sourceDir}"
is replaced by the real source directory path in error messages.
Has anyone else seen this? Is it a known error or limitation? Or am I
missing something? Should I set up something else somewhere or use
different variables or something?
My goal is to avoid hard-coded full paths, for a shareable/version
control system-friendly configuration...
Some meta question (kind of) while I'm at it: I don't see a lot of
traffic on this list. Does this mean there is a different (better)
alternative way of asking questions? Or could it mean nobody is actually
using Qt Creator. :-/ ?
Thanks,
- Toralf
