Originalname.dbg is *added*. It contains only the debug symbols. If you check you'll see that both originalname and originalname.dbg have exactly the same timestamp. You have an option in Project->Options->Debugging, named "Use external debug symbols file". If checked you get two files: originalname and originalname.dbg. If you uncheck it you get only originalname, but much larger. With the external debug symbols file you may, if you want, deploy the debug version by releasing just originalname. It will be larger and less optimized than a release version, but it will be identical to the one you have debugged. The choice is yours.

[Lazarus] Is there a setting to include debug symbols when starting from Lazarus only?
Las 2.2.6/Fpc 3.2.2 I use the config item: Project/ProjectOptions/CompilerOptions/Debugging/GenerateInfoForTheDebugger in order to include symbols or not in the executable. Now I wonder if there is some way to configure this such that it works like this: - Use Run menu Build or Compile: no symbols should be included. - Click the green run arrow button then the symbols will be included. I know there is a button next to the green arrow that has a little red x and the hint: "Run without debugging" But I think this is just for the execution of the program without the debugger, right? Or is this working such that both green arrows will add the debug info but only the one without the x will actually *use* the debugger? I would like to be able to build the release without symbols from the Run menu but still use the green arrow to debug without having to change the setting above. Is this possible? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
