[Insight-users] Problem with debugging code using ITK, cmake, and qt creator

[Merrem, Andreas]

Hello,

I am working with a program that uses ITK functions and would like to debug it with qt creator. Running it works fine, however, I can't use the debugger and set break points.

I added a custom build step to the project with the following information:
    *
      Name
          o
            cmake
    *
      Command
          o
            /usr/bin/cmake
    *
      Working directory
          o
            $BUILDDIR
    *
      Commandline arguments
          o
            -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .

When I tried to execute this build step, it first didn't find ITK, when I added the line

SET (ITK_DIR /home/merrem/ITK/build) (i.e. the directory with the ITKConfig.cmake file)

to the CmakeLists.txt file, it apparently managed to find ITK, but didn't really like what it found, and told me:

Running build steps for project VascuSynth...

How can I use the debugger on programs using ITK functions? I don't want to look into the ITK functions themselves, so is there a way to avoid rebuilding ITK in the debug mode? If not, how do I link everything once I built ITK in debug mode so that I can use my programming environment the normal way (click on debug if I want to debug, click on run if I want to run, not getting tangled up in a spider web of linking problems and having to change everything each time I want to do something)? Can I do that using only one cmake file?

I would appreciate your help very much, 

Andreas
