Windows SDK with CDT [message #900502] Tue, 07 August 2012 06:18 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hello,
Earlier, I was using Qt Creator IDE with Windows SDK tools and it works perfect,
no extra settings, QtCreator "sees" that Windows SDK is installed and uses
compiler/debugging tools and libs/headers from this SDK for C++ projects

Unfortunatelly CDT doesn't see that compiler kit (I mean Windows SDK) already installed and doesn't suggest me simply to use this..

and I couldn't find any manuals how to configure this

Could you help me with this?

is here anyone who uses CDT under Windows platform with Microsoft C++ compiler/libs?

No,
thank you for the URLs,
I've quickly reviewed these, downloaded latest CDT (seems the support for microsoft tools was inluded in latest CDT?)
and tried to build with Visual C++ toolchain
and with MinGW
in both cases, there is a message:
"
sh -c "autoreconf -i"
Cannot run program "sh": Launching failed
Error: Program "sh" not found in PATH
"

can't find out where is a setting for this command?

1. for windows sdk: seems that CDT can't work with Windows SDK debugger?
2. for mingw: debugging raises an error "Error in services launch sequence
Unhandled exception when executing Sequence org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.gdb.launching.ServicesLaunchSequence@1c0c995, step #4
java.lang.NullPointerException"

Too many problems in this IDE for simplest operation - build "Hello World" project Sad
in Qt Creator, all this works by one click

This means that you have not installed Visual C++ (correctly).

No, see above.

Well, you created an Autotools project. You should create a normal Executable project and then choose the toolchain you want to use.

Thank you for the replies!

First of all - I've compiled the project using micrsoft toolchain, thank you!
as I said above , I didn't install Visual C++, I believe that Windows SDK is enough, it includes all required libraries , compiler/linker and debugger.

about "sh", thanks for the link, I'm going to read this

now, the primary issue for me is the debugging , I don't see where and how I can set up the debugger from Windows SDK, I see all debugger settings in CDT UI regards to GDB only....

There is no debug support for Visual C++. You can only use the compiler. If you want to debug you have to compile your project with MinGW and then use gdb (gdb does not understand the debug symbols from Visual C++).
