The problem is that the Qt sources are not provided with the Qt SDK. You can install the Qt 4.7.3 source package yourself though, build it and add it in Qt Creator. This way you should be able to debug the Qt sources.

Huh? I installed the sources right from the SDK. You just have to select that you want them. In the tree of items to install, they can be found under Qt SDK -> Miscellaneous -> Qt Sources. I can choose to install versions 4.7.1 through 4.7.3. And yes, they are installed then.

I see. nonot1: can you verify that you selected to install the sources?

@Andre: Having the sources alone is not sufficient if the libraries are not directly build from it. At the very least you need to create an association from the location where the sources were at compile time to the place were the sources are installed. There’s an item in the debugger options, “General” settings.

I have not had a chance to play with this again yet. Was thinking of waiting until Qt Creator 2.2 final was released. (what is the schedule for that?)

Qt Creator 2.2 final is already released, see:

http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/05/06/qt-creator-2-2-released/

Any idea when we may expect an update for the SDK, so we can simply use the SDK updater feature to get the latest and greatest Qt Creator?

There has not been set a date for this yet.

Updating the sdk with Qt Creator 2.2 now.(just released this afternoon) i have Choosen custom instead of default and got the choises Andre was talking about. Thanks for the hint!

I was having problems despite seeing the feature for the source. I am adding this in hopes that it will save others some time. I am using the QtSDK with QtCreator 2.4.1, and I have downloaded the source using the QtSDK package manger. The source is located in the default path (relative to the SDK root) C:\QtSDK\QtSources\4.8.0.

In the QtCreator options, under Debugger->General you need to click on “Add Qt sources…”. Then you need to select C:\QtSDK\QtSources\4.8.0. I was originally making the mistake of selecting C:\QtSDK\QtSources\4.8.0\src – which obviously was failing.

Once you OK out of the dialog you should be able to debug into the Qt source code in QtCreator.

Thank you for your solution. :)
