Hi all,

we're trying to get a version of Qt with debug symbols built to debug a Qt 
based project, but this appears non-trivial to do so.
I started with my search engine fu which led to a Stack Overflow question, 
which seemed easy enough:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36424707/how-can-i-create-a-development-shell-for-qt-5-5-with-debug-symbols-in-the-qt-lib

I tried to change the following in all-packages.nix

 qt56 =
   let imported = import ../development/libraries/qt-5/5.6 { inherit pkgs; };
   in recurseIntoAttrs (imported.override (super: qt5LibsFun));

into:

qt56 =
  let imported = import ../development/libraries/qt-5/5.6 { inherit pkgs; 
developerBuild = true; };
  dontStrip = true;
  in recurseIntoAttrs (imported.override (super: qt5LibsFun));

(I added dontStrip from: https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#ssec-fixup-phase , 
but maybe it is not in the right place?)

Anyway, the result is negative - when I subsequently build, I get a stripped 
version.

We also tried to build the Qt48Full build that is already a regular derivation:

 qt48Full = appendToName "full" (qt48.override {
   docs = true;
   demos = true;
   examples = true;
   developerBuild = true;
 });

but this also results in stripped version. We check in the following way:

$ nix-shell -p file
$ find /nix -type f -name "libQt*Core.so.*" -exec file -L {} \;

/nix/store/ga4iw13f2l5c8c193f6dgs15cilf289l-qt-4.8.7/lib/libQtCore.so.4.8.7:

Is there another route? Or any suggestions?

Best,
Michiel
