Re: Strip bug(feature?) + a Present for all installers.


Sorry, I forgot to save before send.

typing strip libncurses.a produced a libncurses.a file with no exported functions whatsoever.

This is not the way strip behaves under linux, typing strip --strip-unneeded still gives a

usable library though.

I know what the man page says, but don't you

think defaulting to --strip-unneeded would give a

smaller surpries factor, expecially since it's always,

AFAIK, been that way? ;^)

To use the included install-sh, cp it to .../cdk/install-sh and to /bin/install

and ln -s install.exe install-real somewhere in your path.


it's about 70% faster, and the installed files retain the .exe extension
works with ncurese less man winsup and groff(all I have tested it with so far ;^)
