Hi, I need your advise on how to deal with the way Debian packages the debug version of Qt libraries.
I'm trying to package an existing software that includes a small Qt application. The software is not using autotools or qmake but fixed Makefiles. Building the release version is accomplished by lines like CXXFLAGS += $(shell pkg-config --cflags QtCore) LIBS += $(shell pkg-config --libs QtCore) Building the release version of the sofware works fine. Alternatively, when building a debug version, the above lines are replaced by CXXFLAGS += $(shell pkg-config --cflags QtCore_debug) LIBS += $(shell pkg-config --libs QtCore_debug) Building the debug version fails with errors like Package QtCore_debug was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `QtCore_debug.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'QtCore_debug' found I have installed libqtcore4, libqt4-dev and libqt4-dbg in the build environment. Looking at the files in these packages, I noticed that they provide /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4.4.3 and /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4.4.3.debug, but not /usr/lib/libQtCore_debug.so.4.4.3. Also, there is /usr/lib/pkgconfig/QtCore.pc, but no /usr/lib/pkgconfig/QtCore_debug.pc (or /usr/lib/pkgconfig/QtCore.debug.pc). Debian seems to use its own way of packaging the debug versions. As far as I can tell after some looking around, this might be no problem when using a configure and qmake. Unfortenatey, upstream does not. What should I do to specify that the debug versions of the libraries are used?
