    I'm compiling on Visual Studio 2022, Qt 6.3.1

    The .pdb is being generated only for debug, how i could set it to also be compiled on release?

      I have found it, under c/c++ -> all options -> debug information format -> Program Database (/Zi) now it generates the .pdb

        If you use CMake use 'RelWithDebInfo', for qmake I don't know but you can set the generation of the debug information in the compiler and linker options

          For qmake, just CONFIG += force_debug_info

            @Bonnie said in How to compile .pdb on release?:

            For qmake, just CONFIG += force_debug_info

            Perdon but where should i add this info?
            I tried adding it on properties -> qt project settings -> qmake -> additional command arguments -> CONFIG += force_debug_info

              @Cesar By qmake we mean .pro file.
              If you use Visual Studio as IDE and don't have a .pro file then you just do what @Christian-Ehrlicher 's link says.
