Debug output is the key

Debuggers are great, but having to step through code is not always ideal. Good strategical debug output can save you a lot of time when trying to track down an issue. Especial if the debugging is being done by a non-developer.

As you probably know, adding a debug trace in Qt is child's play. Just do a

#include <QtDebug>

and then put a

qDebug() << "This is a debug message";

wherever you need it.

To compile Kisa with debug symbols just execute these commands in the extracted source folder;

qmake
make debug

To start the debug enabled version just call bin/kisa, no need to install it. Some of the paths might not be correct, especially for the country_language_mappings.txt, but now you have debug output to track down the issue.

That's it!
