Qt Creator debugging trouble on Mac OS

[johnmidd]

I just installed Qt 4.5 on Mac OS X 10.5.7. Whenever I start debugging a simple "Hello World" main application in Qt Creator 1.2 I get the following message:

<start>
Unable to read symbols for "QtCore.framework/Versions/4/QtCore" (file not found).
Unable to read symbols from "QtCore" (not yet mapped into memory).
<end>

The debugger seems to work correctly with non-Qt objects. That is, it will respect a breakpoint at a simple statement such as "int i = 1;"

Is there something I need to do to make it possible to step into Qt Core objects?

Sorry I meant to say Qt Creator!

I am getting exactly the same messages from QtCreator on the same platform, but since I'm also using opengl, a few more--

Unable to read symbols for "QtOpenGL.framework/Versions/4/QtOpenGL" (file not found).
Unable to read symbols from "QtOpenGL" (not yet mapped into memory).
Unable to read symbols for "QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui" (file not found).
Unable to read symbols from "QtGui" (not yet mapped into memory).
Unable to read symbols for "QtCore.framework/Versions/4/QtCore" (file not found).
Unable to read symbols from "QtCore" (not yet mapped into memory).

The above is for a program I'm writing; I get similar messages when I run Qt demo programs. While the Qt programs seem to run without any problems, my program doesn't, and I'd like to rule out the possibility that the above has something to do with it... maybe the above indicate a hidden problem that Qt examples don't bring out?

Hmmm, actually is this just a debugger issue? Doh--I didn't install the release version so I can't see if they go away there--okay, maybe it's not such a big deal then, but it would be nice to know what's going on.

Best,
Matt

I'm also very interested to go further into QT code.

is there a way to build a debug version for Mac Os X?

thanks

I am having similar problems with this issue.

My problem is a bit similar, but now the same.

In QtCreator I get the same messages:

Unable to read symbols for "QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui" (file not found).
Unable to read symbols from "QtGui" (not yet mapped into memory).
Unable to read symbols for "QtCore.framework/Versions/4/QtCore" (file not found).
Unable to read symbols from "QtCore" (not yet mapped into memory).

even after doing setting up my app bundle like this:
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/deployment-mac.html

If I put Creator in Debug mode and toggle a breakpoint, it skip them even if they are in Qt or non-Qt forms...

BUT...
...if I compile the project HelloWorld showed here:

And try to debug it, the previous messages appear, but it debug without any problem...

Could anyone tell me what is different in between my code and this example that is not allowing me to debug?
(I did not use designer like him to generate the windows, I've made it manually creating my class MainWindow subclassing from QMainWindow)

Any help or hint?

Thanks guys...
