The -O2 shows optimization, which is not present for DEBUG. I forget exactly what -Os does, but not sure if it's a problem or not. I believe the -g is OK, and similar to the -ggdb I use. <br>

(Please be careful with copy/paste like that - I had to trim lots of trailing spaces so it didn't look very badly wrapped.) I don't have any of the CMAKE_CXX_... entries, but I'm using ninja instead of make, which might account for that difference. Since KMM uses C++ and not C, the CMAKE_C_... flags are not needed. The notation in my cmake line is from many years' force of habit.<br>

Not sure where to do what? I'd clear out the build directory and start from scratch. Create and cd to a build directory (either under or parallel to the base directory of the git checkout) and run the cmake command there. You can run cmake right in the base dir of the source, but I have found that doing that makes it hard to clean up a bad build and start again, without messing up the source. <br>
<br>
> With what Jack said, I see those options in ccmake, but should I change anything? DEBUGFULL has nothing as a value. What I don't see is a CMAKE_C_FLAGS, not sure if that is missing or just not needed on my system.<br>
As I mentioned above, lack of CMAKE_C_FLAGS should not be a problem as there is no C code to compile. Missing the -g from DEBUGFULL should not cause a problem, but I'm not sure what the default optimization level is without an explicit -O0. You might be able to see it by looking at some compile command withing the make output.<br>

The debug cursor is past the point where the assignment was made. Why? Is this a kdevelop issue or maybe I just do not understand how this tool works yet. I thought the hover over would display the current value in the variable.<br>
I don't use kdevelop much. but I'm wondering if the compiled code you are actually running might be out of sync with the source code you are looking at. Did you run the build from within kdevelop? (I don't know if it's even possible to get out of sync like that, but something does seem odd.)<br>

The only thing different was that I had an application target set, where he had an executeable. I updated mine to match his.<br>
Did you check the console output later? I wonder if the output might have been buffered.<br>

However, the actual control of optimization is in flags to the compiler, usually set with CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS. Optimization is -Ox where x is the level of optimization applied. For example, my cmake line starts with 'CFLAGS="-O0 -ggdb" CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS cmake ....' The -O0 (capital letter o, digit zero) says no optimization at all. The -ggdb may not be necessary for you, but at some point, helped me by explicitly providing some additional debug information used by gdb. I am not sure whether it makes any difference if you are debugging with kdevelop.<br>
