Dear mentors, I am trying to create a Debian package for the Pict programming language.
http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/papers/pict/Html/Pict.html The package itself is here http://altair.dcs.elf.stuba.sk/~kosik/debian/pool/main/p/pict/pict_4.1.0-1.dsc I have successfully built it within pbuilder environment. However, I have observed a weird behavior of the binary when I let dh_strip it. The binary is installed into /usr/lib/pict/pict (the /usr/bin/pict is only a script that calls the binary with pre-set environment variables required by the original software) The original and the dh_stripped versions of the binary differ - the original does recognize the `--help' option, the dh_stripped does not recognize it - when I run the original binary without any parameters, it complains "You must specify exactly one input file" whereas the dh_stripped bersion prints something else. - and other things <SPECULATION> Major part of the orignal binary is compiled from OCAML sources so maybe there is some specific error behavior of dh_strip related to these kind of binaries. </SPECULATION> I would welcome any helping hand with this problem. Thanks in advance -- Matej Kosik
