confused by difference bewteen setting debug/release in creator build and .pro

[jefftee]

I can only seem to get it to do what I want by setting "CONFIG=debug" in both the .pro file and the creator build. This makes changing between debug and release builds tedious.

Make sure your project is actually setup to use debug settings when you choose the debug build. Go to "Projects" in the left dock, make sure the Debug build configuration is chosen at the top of the screen and that your qmake setting is using CONFIG+=debug using the example below:


qmake qaws.pro -r -spec macx-clang CONFIG+=debug CONFIG+=x86_64


Hope that helps.
