You can chose between: 0131 * `Debug`. : for hacking. Include all debug information. 0132 * `RelWithDebInfo` : default. use gcc `-O2` `-g` options. 0133 * `Release` : generate stripped and optimized bin files. For packaging. 0134 0135 More details can be found [at this url](https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/CMake) 0136 0137 Note: To know KDE install path on your computer, use `kf5-config --prefix` command line like this (with full debug object enabled): 0138 0139 * `cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(kf5-config --prefix)` 0140 0141 # Donate Money 0142 0143 If you love digiKam, you can help developers to buy new photo devices to test 0144 and implement new features.
