waf configuration for qt debug file to be included

Question

I m writing a wscript for implementing code which includes QDebug

#include <QDebug>

In my wscript for configuring qt I have these lines specified

def configure(conf): 
    conf.env.append_value('CXXFLAGS', ['-DWAF=1'])  
    conf.load('compiler_cxx qt4') 
    conf.check_cfg(package='gstreamer-0.10', args='--cflags --libs',        
            uselib_store='GSTREAMER')       

the output of ./waf configure is below

In the configure step some of the qt debug files are missing. I thought using DWAF=1 would have solved them. What is that I m doing wrong ?

Answer 1

For waf to find qtdebug files you need corresponding pc files. I did not have them before. Once you have/make the .pc files and put them in the correct PKG_CONFIG_PATH waf will pick them up automatically.

Answer 2

It seems you forgot to do use='QTCORE' in your task generator declaration (which you didn't post here).

The DWAF=1 stuff comes from an example, and does absolutely nothing.
