Rather than stripping our exe's and dll's I suggest to strip the debug
info into
seperate /usr/lib/debug/path/file.dbg and package them seperately in -debuginfo
packages such as with fedora.
On any error which requires user-side debugging these symbols can be used
by gdb (--symbols=SYMFILE) easily.
dumper should use them too.
Is this a good idea?
Below is the cygport function which can replace __prepstrip.
I'm just not sure if we should create such an additional package
automatically (sure),
and how to add --exclude=/usr/lib/debug easily to the existing pkg contents.
I'm sure Yaakov has a better idea than my ad-hoc approach I'm thinking of.
__prepdebug() {
if defined _CYGPORT_RESTRICT_debug_
then
inform "Skipping -debuginfo package per request.";
return 0;
fi
local exe d s;
cd ${D};
echo "Strip debug info into seperate -debuginfo package:";
for exe in $(find * -type f -writable -a \( -name '*.dll' -o -name
'*.exe' -o -name '*.so' -o -name '*.oct' -o -name '*.cmxs' \))
do
# OCaml bytecode must not be stripped
if grep -q 'Caml1999X008' ${exe}
then
continue
fi
# Mono assemblies must not be stripped
if objdump -p ${exe} 2>&1 | grep -q "DLL Name: mscoree.dll"
then
continue
fi
# assure this is actually a PE-COFF object
if objdump -f ${exe} &>/dev/null
then
echo " ${exe}";
chmod +x ${exe};
d=$(dirname ${exe})
s=$(basename ${exe} .exe)
s=$(basename ${s} .dll)
mkdir -p ${D}${debugdir}/${d}
objcopy --only-keep-debug ${exe}
${D}${debugdir}/${d}/${s}.dbg
objcopy --strip-debug ${exe}
objcopy
--add-gnu-debuglink=${debugdir}/${d}/${s}.dbg ${exe}
fi
done
}
