Add log to Qt source code

xixi_cly

I have a embedded device，but the keyboard can't be used.So I want to add some log to the source code in the libinput keyboard module.However, after cross compiling the source code, the log is not printed.
Then, I used export QT_LOGGING_RULES="*.debug=true" in my embedded device, there is also nothing printed.
I want to know how to print the log I wanted.
The source code patch as this:

Hi,

Are you sure your custom is installed properly ?
Are you sure it is used by your application ?
Are you sure that its used at all ?

One non-technical comment just in case. You might be already aware that since you're or you'll be modifying a (L)GPL licensed component (see qlibinputhandler.cpp copyright header) you'd be obliged to contribute it back... which might conflict with your application licensing schema...
