Hi Martin,

I am developing and debug using QtCreator (on Linux). I didnt experienced any issues.
Usually if it crashes for me I can see a popwindow (wxWidgets) then I press stop and it will jump to QtCreator.

I usually run in debug directly the application I would like to debug, ex: in your case you may want to run eeschema directly instead of 'kicad'

I think there is no difference between build it on QtCreator or terminal.. it should be the same make command and on the same directory.

My build configuration:
Build directory: ... your /build/debug
Command: make
Arguments: -j7
Working directory: %{buildDir}

Run configuration:
Executable: ... build/debug/pcbnew/pcbnew (the fullpath for the application)
Arguments:
Working directory: %{buildDir}

.. so.. nothing much ...

Mario

Subject: [Kicad-developers] Debugging KiCad with QtCreator

Hello,

I would ask how you debug KiCad, because I tried to do it with QtCreator. I starts KiCad, I can also click on the pl editor and there I can do something and can debug, but when I click on eeschema KiCad crash with a segmentation fault. When I compile in the terminal it works right. Does anyone tried too?
I get this error but I think you can do anything with that:

"The inferior stopped because it received a signal from the operating system.

Signal name :


SIGSEGV


Signal meaning :


Segmentation fault"
