<EM>&gt; I suggest that a new target be added to the Makefiles for
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; sane-frontends (and sane-backends). I find the target useful since
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; the standard for the Debian distribution is to install binaries
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; stripped. This target is convenient.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Here's a description of the install-strip target from the GNU
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; standards document:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; `install-strip'
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Like `install', but strip the executable files while installing
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; them. In many cases, the definition of this target can be very
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; simple:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; install-strip:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; $(MAKE) INSTALL_PROGRAM='$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) -s' \
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; install
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Normally we do not recommend stripping an executable unless you
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; are sure the program has no bugs. However, it can be reasonable
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to install a stripped executable for actual execution while saving
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; the unstripped executable elsewhere in case there is a bug.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<P>Hi Kevin,
<BR>
<P>I think if we add that option we will get in trouble with our error reports.
<BR>
I see no great problem with the not stripped libraries, it does cost a bit
<BR>
of harddiskspace, not much else. But I see the problems we get because a lot
<BR>
of users will install the stripped libs and we are not able to do debugging.
<BR>
<P>If someone really needs it, it should be no problem for him to change
<BR>
the Makefile and add a &quot;-s&quot;, - although I do not see a reason at all to
<BR>
create stripped libs.
<BR>
<P>Bye
<BR>
Oliver
