not quite: --enable-release-build is mostly relevant for Winodws: if not set, it does a dev build, which has different install paths and registry entries. It doesnt change anything about additional debug code. --enable-symbols Doesnt change anything about additional debug code. It just enables creating symbols to allow debugging, but nothing else. --enable-debug Has debug symbols just like --enable-symbols and in addition disables optimizations an inlining and enables assertations. --enable-selective-debuginfo= allows --enable-debug for specific modules. running "make debug=T" or "make gb_DEBUGLEVEL=1": - set the OSL_DEBUG_LEVEL define to 1 and thus enable some additional code - does undefine the OPTIMIZE define and thus disables some optimization - should still be compatible - plus the --enable-debug stuff finally --enable-dbgutil does enable all of the additional "#ifdef DBG_UTIL" stuff. So the only things that really run additional code are debug=T and DBG_UTIL. see also: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/How_to_debug If there is anything missing/outdated from the wiki-page, feel free to update.
