Qt debug info with Online installer on Windows
-
Hello,
When i install Qt, does it come with debug info.?
I want to debug into Qt sources but i'm not sure if i have to compile the sources to get this info or can i get it from the installation itself.?Thanks in advance for any help

Hi,
What version of Qt would you like to debug and which module ?
-
What OS are you running ?
-
On Windows it has debug libraries (library name + d) installed, they are used with Debug builds of your project. On Linux you may have to install debug info with the package manager of your system (search for "debug info" + your distro name). If you use the Linux installer provided by Qt, I don't know - I didn't find debug info with a quick glance.

QT 5.8.
I need QtCore, QtGUI and QtWidgets modules.
But i'd like to see the full call stack. So i don't mind having all modules debug info.Thanks for your response.
Also do tell how you install Qt (along with what OS you're developing on).

Thank you for all your responses,
I'm on windows and i'm trying to install from the online installer. Can i download all the sources (and debug info) by checking the Sources check box from the installer.?
-
Then you have everything at hand. Both the debug and release libraries are installed and you get the matching sources.

@qtProgrammer You don't need the Source, only the binary for the compiler you will use. Source is just what it says, the uncompiled source code of Qt. The source package is big and compiling Qt takes probably half a day or a day, don't do it if you don't need/want to.

The three mentioned modules take less than an hour to build (I think about 10 mins per module) and I'm pretty sure my computer isn't top line ...

But without prior knowledge finding out how to compile only those three takes half a day... :)

Oh, you meant to include that time too, okay, I concede. :)

Thank you @SGaist @Eeli-K @kshegunov for your responses.
I also need Qt sources so that i can debug into them.I'll go ahead & install QT from an online installer.
Thanks again -

Ah, of course.
