#1851: "make install-strip" should work -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: igloo | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.2 Component: Build System | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Building GHC | Unknown/Multiple failed | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by thomie): Can you give instructions to reproduce the problem. What do you mean precisely with "anything from the source distribution"? I tried the following (using HEAD), and it seems to work as expected: {{{ $ DESTDIR=/tmp/install make install $ DESTDIR=/tmp/install-strip make install-strip }}} {{{ $ file /tmp/install/usr/local/lib/ghc-8.1.20160521/bin/ghc ... ELF 64-bit LSB executable ... not stripped $ file /tmp/install-strip/usr/local/lib/ghc-8.1.20160521/bin/ghc ... ELF 64-bit LSB executable ... stripped }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1851#comment:20 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
