Build QT DLLs in debug without d

[Sparx23]

Hi All,

I would like to build the QT DLLs using msvc in debug configuration on Windows but without the "d" at the end. I did not figure out where I could change that. Any advice would be highly appreciated!
(Just renaming them is of course not working as they link against each other using the "d" filename.

Best regards,
Oliver

If you build Qt yourself you can set the CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX value to nothing, and that should get you want you want.

Otherwise change qtbase/cmake/QtSetup.cmake to remove the "d" value.

I can not imagine any reason to do that. If you need debug info for release just use that build type.

look up for -release during configure.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for!

You will get a lot of problems and strange crashes when mixing debug and release libraries accidentally. So using the same name is for sure not a way to go.
