In this tutorial we create, build and debug a Qt application on Linux with Visual Studio.<\/p>\n

Before you begin, make sure that VisualGDB 3.1<\/a> or later is installed.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Start Visual Studio. Go to ‘File->New Project’. Select ‘VisualGDB->Linux Project Wizard’. Choose a name and location for the project and press ‘OK’.\"01-newproject\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. On the first page choose ‘Create a new project’, ‘Application’ and change the project template to ‘A QT4-based application’. Press ‘Next’.\"02-QtProject\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Choose a remote computer to build the project on. You may have to make a new SSH connection for it.\"03-remote\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. When pressing ‘Next’, VisualGDB will try to verify that the remote machine has all the tools needed. If prompted to install Qt automatically on the Linux machine, press ‘Yes’. \"04-detected\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. On the last page of the wizard, there is no need to make changes. Press ‘Finish’. \"05-lastpage\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. Build the project. \"06-build\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. Set a breakpoint in the ‘ButtonClicked’ function. Start debugging. \"07-bp\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. Either install X Server or browse to its location. \"08-xserver\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  9. Once X Server starts, the app is displayed. The example project just has one simple button. Click on the button. \"10-app\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  10. The breakpoint will be hit. \"11-bpstop\"<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
