Qt installer with Debug-Symbols?

[kodiak32]

I installed Qt 5.6 with the offline installer and wondering why binaries installed are stripped. I try to debug QObject related classes (e.g. QSettings) and get no debug information from those. What would be the appropriate way of getting the information.

Cheers Kodiak

Hello,
I'm not completely sure, but I think the installers don't carry debug information at all. When I wanted to debug into Qt, I'd always make my own debug Qt build.

Kind regards.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Which platform are you on ?

@SGaist Hi, this is Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit with a plain X-window system

Silly question but are you using a debug build of your application ?

[kodiak32]

$ file libQt5Core.so.5.6.1 
libQt5Core.so.5.6.1: ELF 64-bit LSB  shared object, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), BuildID[sha1]=f023ef806560c7d6dea5cfab0707ca5fff6abf51, stripped

So the binaries from the installer are stripped. My application is not. I am able to debug things like QString due to the public header implementation. QSettings does not provide it. I am wondering why only stripped libraries are provided.
So I guess I need to install something from PPA or build them non-stripped by myself?
