Set DebugInfo for help with debugging

[knapsea]

For Ref application, in its folder's CMakelist .txt, I set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Debug) to help step through code and debug.
This doesn't set Debug for the other components and Libraries used by Ref , is there a way to set debuginfo/"-g" for all components ?
Is there one file this can be enabled at compile time ?

Right now the easiest way to do this is by manually setting the debug flag with set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -g"). Adding proper cmake debug build support to fprime-util is on our todo list. If you're familiar with cmake you could also manually use cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ...other flags to create a debug build.

I tend to do the following to debug:

fprime-util generate --ut <platform or native>
cd fprime-build-automatic-<platform>-ut
make <deployment>_exe
gdb ./bin/*/<deployment>

We clearly should make it easier to set debug flags for F´ builds.
