Hi Olivier,
I don't work that much on Windows, so my experience may not cover all
cases.
In my experience, the easiest thing is to start the application from
VS. Do this, by right clicking the "qgis" project in the Solution
Explorer and click "Set as StartUp project". Then click the play button
(or Debug => Start Debugging). Now, the debug output should be in the
Output window of VS (If compiled with RelWithDebInfo). I think it is
also possible to attach Visual Studio to a running process, which
should help as well. Or there is a tool called DebugView which is
supposed to help, if VS is not installed.

Hi !
While being a C++ newbie, I've been able to build QGIS under Windows
by following the very precise information in the INSTALL file. Thanks
to this, I managed to do already some very small contributions to the
core.
However, I've never been able to get debug output, which is refraining
me from doing more... I've searched a lot, and found a lot of stuff,
but nothing which worked or which made sense to me.
It seems I have to change the cmake option : -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG
(or RELWITHDEBINFO)
I don't know what that is, nor how to change it. I've set the target
to RELWITHDEBINFO in VCExpress (as stated in INSTALL), but that does
not seem to be sufficient to get any output.
I'm not even sure : is the output supposed to be printed in the
command prompt from which I launched QGIS ?
Thanks a lot in advance !
Olivier
