From 6c6fde809a5f380b2a1bab99e45c4c085fbcfb9d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Tor=20Arne=20Vestb=C3=B8?= Date: Mon, 2 Dec 2013 12:44:14 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] iOS: Use DWARF instead of DWARF with dSYM for debug builds Generating the dSYM file takes a long time due to our relatively large static libraries, and is not really useful for a debug build where you are likely to have the object files and Qt libraries available on your host system for debugging anyways.
