gcc options in netbeans 8.0

I'm trying to debug a c++ project (existing code) in Netbeans.

I can run the code fine by hitting the Run button, but debugging isn't working for some reason. I've seen a lot of suggestions telling that the -g flag needs to be added to the gcc compiler options in Netbeans.

From what I understand this used to be done through the *Aditional options" field in the project properties. But this field doesn't exist anymore in Netbeans 8.

Where can I add the -g flag to the gcc compiler options in Netbeans 8?

If it's a normal C++ Application project, then your NetBeans pulldown menu (to the left of the Build Project button - an icon with hammer) should have at least three lines - Debug, Release and Customize. Choose the Debug configuration to build the project, then the -g option will be added automatically.
