[QGIS-Developer] QGIS Onboarding Day?

[Thomas Baumann]

Hi Raymond,
I think especially getting QtCreator or Visual Studio under Windows OS up
and running would be a good topic if the are windows users as newbies at
your hackfest.

On Linux and Windows I got the debug setup with QtCreator running with the
help of our paid QGIS support but the setup on windows with Visual Studio
which i tried on my own was just a nightmare.

I'm still not sure if there are essential parts missing in the docs at the
moment (adding Version.lib dependency, manually creating qgis.env) which
were necessary for me to be able to debug in Visual studio:
https://gis.stackexchange.com/q/340984/67477


I can imagine that a "debug"-boarding directly from the QGIS devs would be
helpful for many users... So I was wondering if you plan to record the
boarding?

If I wouldn't have needed the debug environment for my work I would have
just given up after some frustrating hours and dismissed the idea of
helping bugfixing QGIS.


regards,
Thomas
