QtCreator: qDebug Messages Not Shown

Question

I am currently using QT Creator 3.2.1 with Qt 5.3.2 (as required by my current project) on Windows 7 (64 bits, Ultimate). I am currently working on a GUI project

I am unable to see any qDebug messages in the Application Output window despite already done the following:

1. Having the appropriate QDebug code
2. Building the project in Debug mode
3. Using "CONFIG += openssl-linked" "CONFIG += console" as additional arguments for building the project
4. Not defining QT_NO_DEBUG_OUTPUT at all
5. Confirming that I have a debugger (GDB from MinGW 4.8.2 32 bit installed during installing QtCreator)

May I know what else should I try? Thanks!

Answer 1

This did it for me on Arch Linux

Qt creator > Tools > Options > Kits, select your kit, find Environment, click change and add:

   QT_ASSUME_STDERR_HAS_CONSOLE=1

Now the Message can be printed in the Application Output with something like that:

   qDebug() << "User clicked on the button!";

And than you should see something in the program like so:
