[Qt-creator] Introduction to debugger for MSVC Users / how to use nmake

[Matthias Pospiech]

I am used to the debugger integratet into Visual Studio 2005, and that 
is the only debugger I ever used.

First thing that I find strange is the time it take to break at a 
breakpoint. From cklicking on an Menu entry
and the breakpoint int the signal was about 10s, moving from one line to 
the next sometimes 20s.
(compared to non-noticable delay times in VS.)

The next thing I do no understand is how to look at variable values. In 
VS I point the mouse over the variable and see the value,
or I mark the variable and select view. In QtCreator I could not find a 
single entry in the context or application menu that has
anything to do with watching variable values.

And a different aspect: I have read that QtCreator can use nmake and the 
MS debugger.
However I could not find an entry, where I select the compiler and 
QtCreator would take care if
the remaining setup of the Makestep.
Is there any available documentation/introduction for this?

Any help or information appreciated,
Matthias
