Either add --enable-debug=full in Project Options->Configure Options if
you use autotools, Open the subproject configuration via right-clicking
the subdir name in the QMake Manager (right side of KDevelop) and select
Debug on the Configuration Tab or run cmake with
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull in your builddirectory inside a shell (this
last one cannot be done in KDevelop).

For any other buildsystem you'd have to make sure that it generates
something like -g3 -O0 for the compiler commands. If it adds just -g the
compiler will default to -O2 and thus breakpoints and debugging in
general won't work properly.
