Many thanks, I did not know that... (But then again, how could I?) That explains NOTFOUND, if a human user can not find it... But as posted before, accepting NOTFOUND with no action like -DQT_QTCORE_LIBRARY_DEBUG=/usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4.5.0 I still get the debugging symbols in the backtrace. I have no *.debug files mentioned before... I do not like this because it leaves me uncertain if I am doing the right thing or confusing the debugger (and yes, at the moment my backtrace is rather enigmatic). I will probably compile QT myself and recompile my VTK build to have a bigger control.
Many thanks for valuable remarks,
Dominik

Hello,

Yes indeed, I was confused by Windows where one has separate libs e.g.
QtCore and QtCored. Still, I do not have any /usr/lib/libQt*debug files (I
DID install the qt-dbg pacgages) but the symbols are somehow there in the
debugger backtrace despite debug versions NOTFOUND. It's a quite confusing.
But many thanks for clarifications!

Hi,

I want to build vtk with cmake using QT in debug mode on linux. I have
tried both installing the system QT debug symbols package (Ubuntu) as well
as compiling QT myself with (debug-and-release mode), but cmake keeps
displaying:

QT_QTCORE_LIBRARY_DEBUG-NOTFOUND

My CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is DEBUG. How can I force the use of QT debug
version?

- Dominik

Qt typically gives a .debug file for debug symbols.  So that would be a
libQtCore.so and libQtCore.so.debug instead of libQtCore.so and
libQtCored.so.  Its fine for QT_QTCORE_LIBRARY_DEBUG to be NOTFOUND, if you
have a .debug file.  Or if you configured Qt with -debug and it gave you a
debug library with the name of a release library, you can ignore that
QT_QTCORE_LIBRARY_DEBUG is NOTFOUND.
