[Qt-creator] How to get the debugger helpers to work in the latest snapshot (Built 4 May)

[Jaco Naude]

Thanks for tip.

Ok, I've done the following:
-> Got latest MinGW-5.1.6
-> Got GDB 7.1.2 (gdb-7.1-2-mingw32-bin.tar.gz) and extracted it to
the C:\Tools\Qt\MinGW\5.1.4\bin folder.

Try to debug, and still get the following:
dTRYING TO START ADAPTER
dSTARTING GDB
dUNSUPPORTED GDB C:\Tools\Qt\MinGW\5.1.4\bin\gdb.exe DOES NOT HAVE PYTHON.
sGdb at C:\Tools\Qt\MinGW\5.1.4\bin\gdb.exe does not have python.

Any ideas? According to the GDB site this version does support Python.
