#1851: "make install-strip" should work -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: igloo | Owner: thomie Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: Build System | Version: 7.10.1-rc1 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Building GHC | Unknown/Multiple failed | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by thomie): Haskell libraries are always stripped currently, using `--strip-unneeded` by Cabal. You don't need `make install-strip` for that. There was a bug in Cabal where .a files didn't get stripped for us, for a few releases, but that should be fixed now. https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/2782 The only libraries that aren't stripped are the those for the runtime system. I'm not sure they aren't. I might look into this later. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1851#comment:16 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
