oh, i see. Well it depends on the wxWidgets library you're using. Our templates use the non-debug builds of wxWidgets. However, that DOESN'T mean that you can't debug your projects.
By default all projects (at least with GCC) are built in "debug" mode. To make a release version, use the GNU utility "strip". OR, in the compiler options, check the "strip all symbols from binaries", which deletes debugging information.
