I am constantly using strip -s to reduce the size of the application binary and
now I wonder if there is a way to make Lazarus NOT include the symbols in the
first place?
It seems like these are only used when debugging and that is started by clicking
the green arrow button, so Lazarus should be able to figure out when the symbols
are needed (for debug) and not add them when not needed...
The reason I have for finding a way to do this is that the binary will be added
to version control and then it may happen that one forgets the strip -s step
before committing the state, thus sending an overly bloated binary into
subversion.
I suppose one way is to use Lazarus's build modes.
i.e.
Add a "release" build mode to your project with the settings you want
including strip -s support.
Then make a script /batch which builds it using that build mode (i.e.
lazbuild with --build-mode=<project/ide build mode> or --bm=<project/ide
build mode> ) and copies the "release" stripped to the relevant location
( i.e. local repocitory) before commits it .
Or if you don't want a script / batch, I think that you can add the copy
functionality for that "release" build mode to the "Project Options ->
Compiler Options -> Compiler Commands -> Execute after -> Command" and
leave only the build checkbox checked. With such a configuration, every
time you build that mode you'll have a stripped "release" binary which
will be copied to the location after the build ends .
