[Qt-creator] Debugger not working on some projects

Hello,

I have a command-line-project where the debugger refuses to work properly,  
while it seem just fine in my GUI-Projects.
When stopping at a breakpoint (and generally quite often) I get the  
message 'Debugging helpers not found' in the debugging Toolbar. I've  
attached the contents of the right debugger pane in a text file.

What is strange about this is, that debugging (and the helpers) work(s)  
just fine with my other projects (which are all GUI projects). So I can't  
help but think if it has something to do with the way the console project  
is written, or if the helpers have some sort of requirement to work. The  
project was created from the QtCreator template "Qt4 Console Application"  
and I then proceeded to fill out the main-function, see the illustrating  
main function at the end of the mail. I couldn't find anything on this in  
the documentation so I thought I'd ask here...

I think it's also noteworthy that I've had the debugger supposedly stop at  
breakpoints, instead the stop occurred nowhere near a breakpoint.  
Unfortunately this was a while ago and I don't remember the exact  
circumstances or I'd have included them here.

My System here is Windows7, Qt SDK 2009.05 (so it's QtCreator 1.3.0 and Qt  
4.6.0), the same also occurs on my WinXP machine though (same Qt Versions).

Thank you in advance :)



// the promised example-main function
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
     QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

     /*
       This is where I do the actual processing the tool is supposed to  
perform
     /*

     return a.exec();
}
