Hi Cedric,
I have no experience with that scenario on Windows.
Looks you tried to open cmake project directly with QT,
another possibility as I describe before is to do everything manually (eg on your command shell ) and use QT as an editor and trigger external builds. Maybe just need to change make calls or point to the right build kit.. but I am not sure.

Libraries dependencies is also a very difficult ( for me ) subject on Windows, some other people could help you.

If you want go easy and lazy, using some Linux environment is better to build kicad ;)

Mario

Subject: Re: [Kicad-developers] Debugging Kicad, can this be done with Qt creator?

Hi All,
I've followed the following guide. This gave me a working Qt from MSYS2:
https://www.reddit.com/r/C_Programming/comments/8muc22/mingww64_qtcreator_and_gdb_installation_with/

Next step is to get rid of the error "For MinGW make to work correctly sh.exe must NOT be in your path."

Cheers,
Cedric
