Hi, We faced a problem when we tried Dirk's solution for our package rvinecopulib: there is a strip binary on OS X but it doesn't work as the linux one.
As such, to avoid calling OS X's strip which doesn't work, we use: strippedLib: $(SHLIB) if test -e "/usr/bin/strip" & test -e "/bin/uname" & [[ `uname` == "Linux" ]] ; then /usr/bin/strip --strip-debug $(SHLIB); fi .phony: strippedLib Hope this helps, Thibault On Wed, Jan 3, 2018 at 11:13 PM, Dirk Eddelbuettel <e...@debian.org> wrote: > > Christopher, > > On 3 January 2018 at 21:59, Christopher Lalansingh wrote: > | I'm running into troubles with the total size of my package and I've > found that when using Rcpp, one can reduce the size of shared objects by > stripping out debug symbols by including `-Wl,-S' in PKG_LIBS. > Unfortunately this is not portable with Solaris, and using ifeq in my > Makevars file to check for SunOS isn't portable either. > | > | I came across an Issue on github (https://github.com/RcppCore/ > Rcpp/issues/522) which addresses possible ways to do this portably, but I > can't find reference to // [[Rcpp::plugins(strip)]] in any other > documentation.
