    Hello!

    When trying to compile an OpenCV dependent app in DEBUG mode (under Windows and MSVC 2017 compiler), I get complaint from QT that "QT Debug information files" are missing and that they are supposed to be installed through Maintenance Tool. But when opening Maintenance Tool I can't see anything similar to this what hasn't already been checked?
    Thanks in advance!!

      @Josko Those debug files are only needed to debug Qt itself. You do not need them to build your app in debug mode.

            @pai_daxing : You do need debug info for Qt only if you want to debug inside Qt. This is sometimes convenient to do also for debugging of client code, but not a strict need.

            You can simply press "Ok" (or select Do not show again first) here.

              There is nothing to elaborate on. As @jsulm wrote at the time
