[Qt-creator] Setup of Projects with CMake & VS Compilers

[Michael Jackson]

I have followed all of MS advice on installing both VS2010 and the Windows SDK 7.1. The final issue I am facing (I think) is actually finding the "cdb.exe" file. It is not where the docs say it should be. which is

-----
For the older Windows SDKs, such as Windows SDK 7.1, the Debugging Tools for Windows where shipped as a separate installer on the ISO-image of the SDKs. The debuggers are typically located in c:\Program Files (x86)\Debugging Tools for Windows or c:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows .

I do not have any of those paths. Do you? What is the path to the cdb.exe that you are using?

thanks

My project is managed with CMake instead of QMake and I was curious if anyone else is using this combination and could give some pointers on how to setup the environment to use QtCreator in this way? What generator do I use? What kind of env vars need to be setup ahead of time. Stuff like that.
