Hi John, Thanks for your input. Do you have to do anything in particular to enable this when working with FindQt4.cmake? > If I need to debug deeply into a Qt problem I will > switch to use the Debug build however most of the time for itk or vtk > I want to use RelWithDebInfo to debug since these tend to be slow to > Debug in Debug mode that is when I use dicom images that are similar > resolution to what my programs typically use. Do you have to do anything in particular to enable this when working with FindQt4.cmake? Or do you mean that you use vtk in RelWithDebInfo config, and Qt in Release config in that case?

If I need to debug deeply into a Qt problem I will switch to use the Debug build however most of the time for itk or vtk I want to use RelWithDebInfo to debug since these tend to be slow to Debug in Debug mode that is when I use dicom images that are similar resolution to what my programs typically use.

[CMake] How to handle RelWithDebInfo and MinSizeRel when not built?
Hi, In Qt 5, we create CMake Config files and ship them with the Qt installation to make it possible to use Qt 5 with CMake. Qt on Windows and Mac is packaged with both a debug configuration and a release configuration, so an IMPORTED library is created with both a DEBUG location and a RELEASE location. We don't currently create a location for RelWithDebInfo or MinSizeRel, leading to this bug report: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-29186 I checked the FindQt4 module, and it also does not create IMPORTED locations for RelWithDebInfo or MinSizeRel either, so I wonder if this issue has come up before? As I don't use Windows or Mac, I'm not really familiar with those systems or configurations, so I'm looking for some guidance on what should be done here. The suggestion in the bug report looks somewhat reasonable to me, but then again, we don't actually create separate debug info, and the 'Release' configuration would be no different to the 'RelWithDebInfo' configuration, so it's sort of a 'lie'. The real need for it though is probably that it allows the downstream of Qt to use RelWithDebInfo themselves? The alternative way to do that would be to set the MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG* properties. I'm not sure whether I should advise that and close the bug report, or should I implement the suggested change. Any ideas?
