debug qt application

[sajis997]

Hello forum,


I have created an empty qt project and to have the debugging enabled i have set the following optins in the .pro file as follows:

CONFIG += debug
SOURCES += \
    main.cpp

CONFIG += debug
SOURCES += \
    main.cpp

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Then i set a break point in a particular line and start debugging using the F5 key and then a message says the following:

This does not seem to be a "Debug" build.
Setting breakpoints by file name and line number may fail.

What do i have to have this application debugging enabled?

If you are using QtCreator then you need to change your build mode to debug and rebuild the project. If you are using commandline, run qmake && make.
