[Qgis-developer] Building and debugging QGIS on Windows x64

[Casper Børgesen (CABO)]

Hi Jürgen

Thanks for the clarification regarding "debug"/"RelWithDebInfo", now I know that I can just continue debugging with "RelWithDebInfo".

With respect to "cmake --build %BUILDDIR% --config %BUILDCONF%", I am following the  steps of INSTALL and I use VS2010 Express to build. I guess my lack of experience with C++ is catching up again, because I have no idea what you mean about running the development without the PATH setup. I guess Visual Studio does all the cmake stuff except for the cmake-gui part, where I point at the source and build folder.

Regards, Casper

No, the "Debug" uses another set of runtime libraries that have debugging code in them (mainly for memory management), that makes them incompatible with the original set.  So you also have to build the dependencies with those and end up with two sets of everything.

"RelWithDebInfo" just adds the debugging information (and skips some
optimization) and hence enables debugging, but doesn't require the other set of libraries.

Probably.  I guess you're running the development environment without the PATH setup (like in package-nightly.cmd at the point where cmake --build %BUILDDIR% --config %BUILDCONF% is invoked).
