+ \section1 Debugging Helper Library
+
+ While debugging Qt Creator dynamically loads a helper library into
+ your program. This helper library enables Qt Creator to pretty print
+ Qt and STL types. The Qt SDK package already contains a prebuilt
+ debugging helper library. To create a debugging helper library
+ select the \{Options} from the \gui{Tools} menu, and go to the
+ \gui{Qt/Qt Versions} pane. As the internal layout of qt can
+ change between versions, the debugging helper library is build
+ per Qt Version.
