<![CDATA[How to built qt as ReleaseWithDebugInfo]]>In opensuse or ubuntu i can install from their repos qt555 and additionally debug information in separate files.
But how can i build this by myself ?
I can build release libs (and deploy it with my app), but then i add some flags (-separate-debug-info), then libraries become different (in size) then only with -release flag
What is correct way to buld ?

You have here A pretty interesting article on the subject.

Why so ?

Release And Debug Info > ls -al ./libQt5Gui.so.5.5.1*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user1 users  6938700 янв 15 09:05 ./libQt5Gui.so.5.5.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 users 94461301 янв 15 09:05 ./libQt5Gui.so.5.5.1.debug

Release > ls -al ./libQt5Gui.so.5.5.1*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user1 users 6927093 дек 24 10:15 ./libQt5Gui.so.5.5.1

For example libQt5Gui.so.5.5.1 builded size 98Mb - so it contains debug info, but i expect debug info in separate file.

There's the -force-debug-info option you can use when calling configure.
