[Tinycc-devel] BUG "make install" always strips

[Christian Jullien]

Hi,

 

Porting tcc on OpenBSD, I discovered that “make install” always strips the tcc binaries (which failed, now fixed, in case of bootstrapping tcc with tcc  on OpenBSD) even if –strip-binaries was not set.

 

The culprit is this code:

ifeq ($(CONFIG_strip),no)

CFLAGS += -g

LDFLAGS += -g

else

CONFIG_strip = yes

ifndef CONFIG_OSX

LDFLAGS += -s

endif

endif

 

As CONFIG_strip is not set (!= no) it is forced to yes.

 

Either you pass –strip-binaries option or you install using “make install-strip” target. The “make install” should only install what has been compiled so far.

 

I fixed this by adding “CONFIG_strip=no” to

 

install: ; @$(MAKE) --no-print-directory  install$(CFG) CONFIG_strip=no

 

Hope it’s the right way to fix it, please find another solution if you like.
