Debugging Musescore with GDB on windows

[lasconic]

Hi,
it would be nice to be able to debug musescore with GDB on windows,
and I can't find a way to do it.
Someone managed?

I know that -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG put -g in the makefile and that's good.
I also check that stripping is not done. It's only done by CPack, so
in the packaging phase.
Running file mscore.exe in GDB 5.2.1 in the win32install directory gives back:

(gdb) file mscore.exe
Reading symbols from mscore.exe...(no debugging symbols found)...done.

Any clue?

Hi!
Thanks to Laumai31 input, it's now possible to debug MuseScore step by step in QtCreator on Windows.
It should work directly from the SVN trunk since r2248 http://mscore.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mscore?view=rev&revision=2248
There's still a little problem with images in the toolbar but debugging is possible!
I updated the QtCreator section of the compile instructions at: http://www.musescore.org/en/developers-handbook/compile-instructions-windows-mingw-svn-trunk

Now, as a windows user,  you can join the bug hunt :)
