[Development] Debugging Android App on Qt Creator 3.1.2 and real device (Python scripting)

[Fernando Pelliccioni]

Hi all,

I just made a bug report, but I want to comment on this forum to get
earlier feedback .
Sorry if it is not the place to do it.

I can not debug an Android application using Qt 5.3.1 and Qt Creator 3.1.2
and a real device (Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-9100)

I am getting this error:
"The selected build of GDB does not support Python scripting"

The NDK GCB doesn't support Python scripting (See "Test" section below) and
acording to [0] "Qt drops support for debugging with versions of GDB that
do not have a Python interface."

So, any workarond?

Thanks!
Fernando.
