There is many ways to do this. You may or mayu not want to compile all
files with this option, so you may add it to the glocal CFLAGS, or
just locally in a subdirectory, or manually provide it on the command
line, or ....

Ther eis no single "right" way.

You just "#define DEBUG" before the first #include in that file.
