This article show how to enable runtime debug messages on Maemo 5. Runtime messages help developers to understand what's going on inside the backend.

Switch on the debug messages

To enable the debug messages you have to

1. Open a terminal on your device
2. Set any value for the QCONTACT_MAEMO5_DEBUG environment variable.

   export QCONTACT_MAEMO5_DEBUG=1

3. Run the application in the terminal where you set the variable

   run-standalone.sh ./myapps

Switch off the debug messages

1. Clean the QCONTACT_MAEMO5_DEBUG var

   export QCONTACT_MAEMO5_DEBUG=

2. Run your application as before

Reporting bugs

If a bug is found, debug messages should be added when the bug description is filed in the Qt Bug Tracker.
