Re: OSX dev environments

 

Thanks for the tips, guys.

I’ve installed QTCreator and have it up and running on my Kicad project.  It works great browsing the source, etc.

I had one issue with the runtime configuration: it defaults to wanting to run Kicad out of build/debug/kicad/ rather than out of build/bin/.  But I added a Custom Executable pointing into build/bin/, which seems to work.

But I still can’t use the debugger.  All my breakpoints show as pending.  (I thought this was because it couldn’t connect the source to my custom executable, but I get the same problem running kicad out of build/debug/kicad/.)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jeff.
