How do you create a debug launcher?

I decided to take a look at KDevelop and I seem to be stuck on the most 
silly thing ever.

I can't seem to create a debug launcher.  I can create a launcher, just 
not a debug launcher.  It gives me an error when I try to debug.

The worst part is that reading the documentation doesn't seem to help me 
at all.

In my googling I came across the following:

https://yade-dem.org/wiki/Debugging_using_Kdevelop

At the bottom it shows the launch configurations dialog.  In it it shows 
a 'Debug' entry under the Yade Native Application launcher.  I don't see 
any of that.  I just see the native application entry with no way to add 
a debug entry below it.

I would *love* to get access to the dialog shown in that bottom 
screenshot.  I have gdb installed on my machine, I can launch it 
manually from the CLI.

I'm a little miffed that it's easier for me to use vim + gdb than it is 
to get a kdevelop setup to use a graphical debugger frontend for gdb.

Can someone help me out here?  What the hell am I missing?

I'm running Arch Linux with the latest KDevelop (4.7.1).
