    What is in your pro file already?

    CONFIG should have debug and console options
    if they are not set already add them in your pro file like this :
    CONFIG += console

    Cheers

    I thinks it's obvious, but nevertheless...
    QT should be compiled with either -debug or -debug-and-release

    To build your application in debug mode, add "CONFIG += debug" to your project file and rerun qmake.

    I had the same problem, but I'm running under Microsoft Visual Studio .Net 2003. I tried to add "CONFIG += debug" to my project file and reran qmake, but nothing happened.
    I compared the project-settings under .Net with a friend that had a project which worked under debug. I made the same changes, but still nothing happened.
    We then compared the project-file from .Net, with the extension vcproj, and then I saw that there were added a debug-section under the release-section under configuration.
    But I was missing two lines(don't know why, we made the projects the same way).
    Under the configuration-paragraph for debug, and the third <Tool>-paragraph I added these two lines:
    • GenerateDebugInformation="TRUE"
    • OptimizeReferences="1"
    as number 7 and 10 in that paragraph(probably not important).

    Voila, it worked

    Strange that these lines didn't add up when I ran qmake. I have no explanation of what happened, but I will look in to it.

    Cheers
