Binaries can be built to include debug information. This makes them (sometimes a lot) bigger, so it's customary to build them without that information for production use. (Or to build with that information and then strip it out.) However, in Fedora, instead of doing it that way, you should build *with* the debug information included in the binaries, because there's a magic system which extracts that and puts it into separate debuginfo rpms which can be installed separately when debuging is needed. So, find what in the build process for your app is doing this, and give a parameter or patch the makefile to not do it. (Possibly oversimplfying a bit too much here, but this is the general idea.) -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
