Re: [Qgis-developer] Debugging a QGIS crash

I'd suggest installing VM Ware and running QGIS under Ubuntu.  You will have 
access to a console and better debugging facilities. You could even run the 
program under strace.   Ideally you want to see a stack trace so you can 
identify the pyqt commands that were executed prior to crashing.

Of course it could be operating system specific.  For windows, a quick google 
revealed this:

[Qgis-developer] Debugging a QGIS crash

[Tom Chadwin]

I'm working on a plugin which, under certain circumstances, crashes QGIS 
itself. I've never come across this before. I've downloaded qgis-dev, and tried 
opening the minidump in the Windows debug tool mentioned on the development 
page, but it says the dump file contains no debug info.

What do I do next?

Thanks

Tom
