I'm running the SailfishOS IDE on Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64. Debug launching fails on emulator and on device. On #sailfishos I was told that Debug launching is broken for the time being and I should use gdb for debugging.

However when I debug build my app the debugging symbols are missing. How do i fix that?

[nemo@localhost ~]$ gdb /usr/bin/App

Adding line

%define debug_package %{nil}

at the top of .spec file after the

# >> macros
# << macros

lines did the trick. Now debug symbols are not stripped.

I have a similar problem. Debug launching fails on my Jolla, because gdb in not installed. When I try to install it with - devel su
- pkcon install gdb-gdbserver
I get an error message:
Fatal error: File './core/armv7hl/gdb-gdbserver-7.5.1+git3-1.4.7.armv7hl.rpm' not found on medium 'https://releases.jolla.com/releases/2.0.1.11/jolla/armv7hl/'

It seems that 2.0.1.11 is missing the gdb package. Has anyone got the debugger running?
