Cannot debug Lazarus itself

I'd like to help improve Lazarus under Linux. However, being new to it
I don't know how to make it work with debug info included. When I try

make clean all LCL_PLATFORM="gtk2" OPT=-dDEBUG

everything seems to compile fine though with many warnings about type
missmatch. Now, the only thing I can see after launch is a message
window informing me about a range check error. No matter which button,
OK or Cancel, I click, the program exits. Can anyone give me a hand?

P.S. I use Lazarus SVN revision 10649 and FPC version 2.0.4.

You don't have to do anything special to include debug info. Debug
info is included by default.

Also, lazarus has a menu on the IDE, called Configure Build Lazarus.
It's probably better to use that menu to build it

If you wish to use the command line, don't add OPT=-dDEBUG

This is a conditional define, not a instruction to add debug info.

But even then, this error shouldn't exist, Please report it as a bug
on the bug tracker.

Thank you for advice, your were right about the possibility to debug
Lazarus out of the box. I should have tried it before reading online
FAQ, .

The bug is reported as Mantis 8357.
