[Qt-creator] Problem with remote gdb

[Christian Gagneraud]

Hi all,

I'm using Yocto Poky 2.3.1 for the BeagleBone, I have setup QtCreator
kits, and the remote host, I can compile and remote run a simple Qt5
program, but i cannot remote debug it.

I can manually run gdbserver on the target, and manually run
arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gdb on the host, and debug my application this
way. But for some reason it doesn't work when using QtCreator.

I'm using QtCreator 4.3.1 on KUbuntu-17.04.

Is there any know problems with remote embedded linux devices or with
Yocto/Poky? Has anyone had success with this set-up recently?

Details:
- The compile output pane says:
18:01:38: Running steps for project testapp1...
18:01:38: Configuration unchanged, skipping qmake step.
18:01:38: Starting: "/usr/bin/make"

is still running.
