[Qt-interest] Debugging QT application in KDevelop very slow

[Jason Dolan]

Hello,

I'm using QT-4.5.0-beta1 (but have experienced the same problem in 
4.4.3) on Ubuntu-8.10.  My IDE of choice is KDevelop, but I find that 
starting the debugger when working with my QT project is *extremely* 
slow.  It'll take somewhere between a minute or two from the point I 
start the debugger to when my program starts up.  After the program 
actually starts it runs at an adequate speed and stepping through the 
code is speedy enough.  Its just the initial startup cost that is 
killing me.

As a test I ran the debugger (gdb) from the command line and it 
responded as expected (about 5 secs to app start).

I thought I read somewhere the QTCreator had the same issue early on, 
but it was resolved...

Does anyone have any hints on this?

Thanks!
