[Qt-interest] setting DYLD_IMAGE_SUFFIX=_debug environment variable

[John Weeks]

Today I started working with a Qt 4.6.3 build for debugging so that I  
can step into the Qt code. On Macintosh OS X, there are instructions  
"If you set DYLD_IMAGE_SUFFIX=_debug, you get the debug version." It  
would be nice if that instruction said that you should set the  
*environment variable"...

Anyway, once I figured out it was an environment variable and not a  
compiler macro, it worked nicely, allowing me to step into code that's  
compiled into a framework.

Now my real question: is there something I can add to the .pro file  
that will generate the Xcode setting that sets that environment  
variable when I debug my application? To set it in Xcode, I select my  
application in the Executables group in the project window and choose  
Get Info. In the Info window, select Arguments and you enter the  
environment variable definition in the Variables to be set in the  
environment window.

Now I change my .pro file, run qmake to regenerate my Xcode project,  
and my setting is gone. I'd like that setting to be made by qmake.
