 It is yet a bit more complicated. The Strawberry MINGW is compiled for a different C++ exception passing model (SJLJ) than the other MINGWs, so one cannot simply combine MINGWs on Windows. For an unknown reason the nice debugger of the QT Creator hangs when debugging the C++ compiled by the Strawberry MINGW. Mabe it is because of the different exception passing models.
 
 And to disable optimization of the C/C++ code, one has to manually modify Config_heavy.pl in the Perl central installation. The SLIC3R_DEBUG environment variable did not override all the -O2 and -O3 flags that the perl build adds the gcc execution line.
