Debug mode Qt 4.3.2

[oetzi]

Hi,
have a question about the debug mode for my simplest qt-applications:
Even though i want only to debug my qt-aplications and not the whole qt-library itself,
have i to build the debug libraries in every case ?

I tried to create the debug mode for my simple project with “make debug” , but an error message occurred :

c:\Qt\4.3.2\bin\qmake.exe -win32 -o Makefile QtTest.pro
mingw32-make -f Makefile.Debug
mingw32-make[1]: Entering directory `C:/QtTest'
g++ -enable-stdcall-fixup -Wl,-enable-auto-import -Wl,-enable-runtime-pseudo-rel
oc -mthreads -Wl -Wl,-subsystem,windows -o "debug\QtTest.exe" debug\main.o -L"c
:\Qt\4.3.2\lib" -lmingw32 -lqtmaind -lQtGuid4 -lQtCored4
C:\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2\..\..\..\..\ mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot fin

mingw32-make[1]: *** [debug\QtTest.exe] Error 1
mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/QtTest'
mingw32-make: *** [debug] Error 2

Please help me !

My installations (Windows XP-SP2):
(MinGW) MinGW-5.1.3.exe,( Debugger : ) gdb-5.2.1-1.exe
(Qt Opensource) Qt-win-opensource-4.3.2-mingw.exe

Environment variables :
QTDIR=C:\Qt\4.3.2 and QMAKESPEC=win32g++ .
PATH=C:\Qt\4.3.2\bin;C:\MinGW\bin;....

Try not to link to the Qt debug libs, but the release ones instead, if you only want to debug your code. Works on Mac very well.

he doesn't want to build the debug libs. just wants to build his app in debug mode and link to the release libs
