P3: Somewhat important windeployqt/macdeployqt breaks debugging the debug builds.
On my Windows 10 system any QString variable contents are not visible anymore ("non-accessible"). Some breakpoints does not work.
On my Mac OS X system none breakpoints works. And it always show the assembly code only.
I use the following pri file to deploy libraries.
# Deploying Qt binaries
isEmpty(TARGET_EXT) {
win32: TARGET_CUSTOM_EXT = .exe
macx: TARGET_CUSTOM_EXT = .app
unix:!macx: TARGET_CUSTOM_EXT =
} else {
TARGET_CUSTOM_EXT = $${TARGET_EXT}
}
win32 {
DEPLOY_COMMAND = windeployqt
DEPLOY_OPTIONS = --no-compiler-runtime --no-translations
!isEmpty(DEPLOYQT_QMLDIR) DEPLOY_OPTIONS += --qmldir=$${DEPLOYQT_QMLDIR}
CONFIG(release, debug|release) {
DEPLOY_OPTIONS += --release
}
}
macx {
DEPLOY_COMMAND = macdeployqt
DEPLOY_OPTIONS = -verbose=0
# commented due to Qt bug: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-48800
# CONFIG(debug, debug|release): DEPLOY_OPTIONS += -use-debug-libs
!isEmpty(DEPLOYQT_QMLDIR) DEPLOY_OPTIONS += -qmldir=$${DEPLOYQT_QMLDIR}
}
!isEmpty(DEPLOY_COMMAND) {
DEPLOY_TARGET = $$shell_quote($$shell_path($${OUT_PWD}/$${DESTDIR}/$${TARGET}$${TARGET_CUSTOM_EXT}))
QMAKE_POST_LINK += $${DEPLOY_COMMAND} $${DEPLOY_TARGET} $${DEPLOY_OPTIONS} $$escape_expand(\n\t)
}
