Qt Creator 64-bit build

Does Qt Creator have debugging support for VS2008 compiled programs? Why would 
you want a 64-bit version of Qt Creator? I'm assuming for debugging support of 
64-bit programs, but I thought the only compiler Qt Creator had debugging 
support for was mingw, hence you would want a mingw 64-bit compiled Qt Creator.

Qt Creator uses the Debugging Tools for Windows package for debugging. On 
32-bit Qt Creator it uses the 32-bit version, on 64-bit Qt Creator it uses the 
64-bit version. You can get the 64-bit from the Microsoft website for free. The 
download is titled "Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 
SP1" which includes a 64-bit compiler and 64-bit debugging tools.

You can use the Debugging Tools for Windows as a debug engine for Visual C++ 
2008 compiled programs as outlined here: 
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator-1.3/creator-debugging.html

I have successfully compiled Qt Creator using the 64-bit SDK Command Prompt 
included with the Windows SDK and used it to debug 64-bit Qt projects.

You would also want to compile the latest version of jom from 
http://gitorious.org/+qt-developers/qt-labs/jom. This includes some patches I 
submitted to improve the responsiveness and robustness of compiler output in Qt 
Creator.

Very cool. I look into this. I want to keep my build box Win XP for maximum 
compatibility, but it sounds like Qt Creator could be built there and still use 
the Windows SDK and debugging tools on a Win7 machine.

Here are some binaries of Qt Creator in 64-bit that i've built (includes latest 
Git version of jom in 64-bit).

You might want to update the link on the project home to point to the updated 
Qt Creator binaries I attached. The link that is currently there doesn't work. 
The new attached zip adds some shared files that I forgot to add to the archive.

Perhaps should link to this ticket instead?
