[Qt-interest] Building release Qt with PDBs in Windows

[Jason Wood]

Hi,

I'm trying to build Qt from source in Windows and also build the PDBs for
the release version to enable me to work with crash dumps more efficiently
but I just can't seem to get them to build. Here's what I've done so far:

Duplicated msvc-2005 folder in mkspecs
Edited qmake.conf in the new folder
Set QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE to '-O2 -Zi -MD'
Set QMAKE_LFLAGS_LTCG to blank
Run 'nmake clean'
Run 'nmake cleanconf'
Run configure including '-platform <duplicated platform name>'
Run nmake

This builds the PDBs for the debug build as usual but not the release build.
I removed the /LTCG to prevent whole program optimization as I believe that
prevents PDBs being built and I added -Zi to the CFLAGS as I believe that
tells the compiler to also build the PDBs but I think I must be missing
something else in the config.

Does anyone know what else I need to change?

Thanks,
Jason
