If you have a CMake project in C++ and want to compile with debugging flags, often you can just set the "CMAKE_DEBUG" flag in ccmake to "ON". Sometimes this isn't set up in the project you're working on, so you could also:
export CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-g
or
ccmake -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-g
or
ccmake
press "t" (to toggle the advanced mode)
and set the options you want by hand.
Another useful tidbit with CMake is that if you:
make VERBOSE=1
ccmake will show you the full command line that it is using to compile.
Thanks Graham!
