Solved Unable to debug under Linux!
-
Hi,
When ever I run my Qt Widget app in debug mode I get this error message box:
This does not seem to be a "Debug" build. Setting breakpoints by file name and line number may fail. Section .debug_info: Not found. Section .debug_abbrev: Not found. Section .debug_line: Not found. Section .debug_str: Not found. Section .debug_loc: Not found. Section .debug_range: Not found. Section .gdb_index: Not found. Section .note.gnu.build-id: Found. Section .gnu.hash: Found. Section .gnu_debuglink: Not found.I'm using Qt Creator 4.1.0 from Qt offline installer.

BTW, gdb doesn't show any error in Qt Creator preferences windows as shown in the below screenshot:
-
@mbnoimi Why should gdb show any errors?
Can you post the whole Makefile?
Did you rerun qmake and rebuild your app after changing to debug mode? -

Of course.

@mbnoimi Looks good. Could you try to load your application in GDB directly? Just to be sure it is really not a debug build. Could be that for some reason QtCreator starts the release build with debugger.

It seems Qt Creator didn't make a debug build at all

@mbnoimi From which directory did you load SyncAccountsManager? Usually QtCreator creates one directory for debug build and one for release. Also did you switch to debug mode in QtCreator?

OMG, I figure out what's going on!
This problem occurs when I uncheck "Shadow build" from project configurations.
Thanks @jsulm ... I'll file a bug report about this problem
