[Qt-creator] Remote Windows debugging

[Denis Shienkov]

Hi guys,

is it in planns to add a QtC plugin for the remote Windows
devices debugging (like remote Linux)?

E.g. I have the Tablet with the windows 8/10 installed,
but I do not want install there also and Qt sdk,
because it is overhead.

Seems, currently, QtC has this feature (like "Attach to remote CDB
session"),
but in this case we need to copy all stuff and to start remote CDB manually
(and, I'm not sure that it is vorked, did not checked yet).

I want that all this became automatically. :)

Is it possible in near future?

BR,
Denis

Hi Denis,

I am an unfortunate developer stuck with WindowsCE at work! Don't know
if the following is of interest to you, but for the sake of the
record....

I recently manage to build our WinCE/Arm project (pure C++) with Qtc
and Qbs, and I'm looking forward remote deployment and remote
debugging too (If only i could showcase this, i might convince the
team to switch to QtC, and then why not, switch to Qt for embedded
dev!)

The product I'm working on has - in dev mode - MS active-sync and FTP running.
I haven't tried to write a QtC plugin for this (yet), but i've noticed
that QtTest has all you need for doing this kind of things [1] [2]
By the look of the remote Linux code [3], writing a remote windows
plugin is certainly not an easy task, but given that there's no
OpenSource solution for this, everything, even the most basic, would
be very welcome indeed.

My 2 cents,
Chris
