I am trying to debug a program I made with Qt 4.7.3 in Release

  • 0

I am trying to debug a program I made with Qt 4.7.3 in Release mode. I would like to debug into this program. Is there a way to build the Qt DLL libraries in release with debug info?

I’m on Windows using Visual Studios 2008.

    To generate debug symbols for your release build of Qt on windows…

    1. Add the flag “-Zi” to QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE in your qmake.conf.
    2. Add the flag “/DEBUG” to QMAKE_LFLAGS_RELEASE in your qmake.conf (you’ll probably also want “/OPT:REF” and “/OPT:icf”)

    For a VC2008 build you would add this to Qt\mkspecs\win32-msvc2008\qmake.conf
    Then configure and rebuild.

    More details of the various qmake options available here:
