Debugging in Windows

[Doug Broadwell]

I'm running 4.1.1 in windows compiled by the minGW tools. I'm using Cygwin's gdb to try to debug a crashing program but it says there are no symbols in the file.

How do I enable keeping the symbol table in the executable in this environment?

Thanks

Add CONFIG += debug to your .pro file and recompile your application or try compiling your application using Makefile.debug (qmake should create it by default under windows).

I get the following error when I add "CONFIG += debug" to my .pro file:

g++ -mthreads -Wl,-enable-stdcall-fixup -Wl,-enable-auto-import -Wl,-enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc -Wl,-subsystem,console -o "debug\n1.exe" debug\bl.o d

Thanks.

You don't have the debug versions of Qt libraries. You can build them by hand or using a link in Start -> Programs -> Qt ... -> Build debug libraries (or something similar).

Thanks, that fixed it!
