    Question Debugging with Qt Creator 2.8.1 + Qt 5.1.1 on OS X 10.8.4

    Hi,

    I am trying to debug my project using Qt Creator 2.8.1 + Qt 5.1.1 on OS X 10.8.4 and though my application works fine, I am just not able to debug it. Here is what I get in the application output window:

    Debugging starts
    Could not find object file "/Users/bld.qt/bamboo-agent-home/xml-data/build-dir/DQTC-LGPLRELEASEBUILD510-OSX106/qt5_workdir/w/s/qtbase/src/plugins/platforms/minimal/.obj/debug-shared/main.o" - no debug information available for "main.cpp".
    Could not find object file "/Users/bld.qt/bamboo-agent-home/xml-data/build-dir/DQTC-LGPLRELEASEBUILD510-OSX106/qt5_workdir/w/s/qtbase/src/plugins/platforms/minimal/.obj/debug-shared/qminimalintegration.o" - no debug information available for "qminimalintegration.cpp".
    Could not find object file "/Users/bld.qt/bamboo-agent-home/xml-data/build-dir/DQTC-LGPLRELEASEBUILD510-OSX106/qt5_workdir/w/s/qtbase/src/plugins/platforms/minimal/.obj/debug-shared/qminimalbackingstore.o" - no debug information available for "qminimalbackingstore.cpp".
    ...
    Would anyone have any idea as what is going wrong here?

    Cheers, Alan.

    It seems your app is built in release mode without debugging symbols.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Well, I didn't expect that, but you are correct (so, thanks for that indeed!). I mean, according to Qt Creator, I was building in debug mode (hence I thought it was all fine), but the Qt project I was trying to build hard-coded the fact that it should be built in release mode (!!). So, I commented out the line that does that and now everything is fine: I can now debug the project without any problem. (FWIW, I am still getting the exact same messages I mentioned in my original message.)

    Try rebuilding the project from scratch. If needed, delete all the intermediate files by hand.

    I tried, but to no avail. As it happens, I have just tried with another Qt project and I got the same (looking, if anything) messages. Maybe I am missing something in my Qt Creator settings, I don't know. All I can say is that those two projects use QMake while my main (personal) project uses CMake and I have never seen anything like that with CMake.
