[scribus-dev] Typical setup for debugging Scribus

Hi all,
I'm struggling with the correct setup/environment to debug Scribus.  
Could anyone walk me through the steps of debugging Scribus? I'm using  
command line gdb at the moment. I have compiled it into an executable  
file (in a separate build folder, of course) and run "gdb -d source- 
directory scribus" but look like it doesn't recognize any source  
files. Without the source files attached, it's quite difficult to  
figure out what's going on. I have tried the debugger in QtCreator as  
well but the program doesn't break at my specified break points. I  
guess it's also because the executable file and the source files did  
not associate at all.
I'm running it on Ubuntu, by the way. Any suggestion for other IDEs I  
might try is also welcome.
Thanks.

Regards,
Thach
