Of course there are some minor issues, but everything can be solved. That is, I use QtCreator on Linux, Mac and Windows with msvc, gcc and clang compilers.
I wouldn't say debugging possibilities belong to the strongest sides of QtCreator, however, it works. I personally rarely use the debugger, so I cannot really share my experience. Give it a try, if you bump into a problem, you can always ask here. On 14 February 2013 21:15, Michael Jackson <[email protected]> wrote: > I take it you have done this?
