addebug - Modifies Makefile(s) to add debug info
adddebug [-k] [-r] [-n]
DESCRIPTION
adddebug modifies the Makefile in the current directory (and optionally
in its subdirectories) to add debug info (-g3). It will also remove op-
timisations (-O[1-9]).
This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.
OPTIONS
-k Keep optimisations (do not remove -O[1-9]? flags which are re-
moved by default).
-r Recursively search through all subdirectories of the current di-
rectory and operate on every Makefile that is found.
-n compile without NDEBUG and NO_DEBUG being defined (makes kdDebug
calls work)
