Qt: no map/pdb files generated for windows release builds

Question

My Qt 4.7.4 project file doesn't generate map/pdb files under windows release builds. thus, postmortem debugging is impossible.

Any flag to change that?

Are you using qmake to build the project or "just" Visual Studio"? — Timo Geusch, Feb 10 '12 at 20:26

Adding the following to the .pro file:

QMAKE_LFLAGS_RELEASE+=/MAP
QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE += /Zi
QMAKE_LFLAGS_RELEASE +=/debug /opt:ref

Strange, this only worked for me if I set these as environment variables, but the .pro ignored them completely – GuySoft Aug 26 '14 at 15:01

you have to press "run qmake" in "build" menu for qtcreator to process the changes in .pro file – graywolf Jun 26 '15 at 10:20
You may need to add `QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE += -Oy-` or `QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE += -Oy-` (Qt 5) – David Levy Jun 15 '18 at 14:10
