\section1 Selecting the Debugger
To automatically detect a suitable debugger in the \gui Debugger field,
select \gui Manage > \gui {Auto-detect}. This should work for the CDB engine
and for the GDB engine for local debugging on Linux or Mac OS.
To edit the selected debugger, select \gui Manage > \gui Edit. In the
\gui {Debugger for} dialog, specify the type of debugger to use
(\gui {GDB Engine} or \gui {CDB Engine}) and the path to the debugger
binary.
For the \gui {CDB Engine} (Windows only), specify the path to the Windows
Console Debugger executable.
For the \gui {GDB Engine}, specify the path to the GDB executable. The
executable must be built with Python scripting support enabled
(except when debugging on Mac OS). The options you have depend on the
development and target platform:

\o For debugging on embedded devices using a different ABI, you must

\o For debugging on Windows using MinGW, select a Windows executable of
GDB with Python scripting enabled. You can download it from
