Hi,
while playing around ifconfig.c, I needed to use gdb(1) on the generated
binary :
z6po:ifconfig# make clean ; make DEBUG_FLAGS=-ggdb && make install
[...]
install -s -o root -g wheel -m 555 ifconfig /sbin
install -o root -g wheel -m 444 ifconfig.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8
As you can see, although I compiled with DEBUG_FLAGS, the binary is
stripped on install(1) so I cannot easily use gdb(1) on it.
I looked at the Makefile which includes bsd.prog.mk :
.if !defined(DEBUG_FLAGS)
STRIP?= -s
.endif
Obviously the only way to have STRIP set to "-s" is that it is set
elsewhere ; bsd.prog.mk also includes bsd.lib.mk and indirectly
bsd.own.mk but they contain _exactly_ the same statement. Nothing
else seems to modify the STRIP variable :
z6po:mk# grep -C 1 'STRIP.*=' *
bsd.lib.mk-.if !defined(DEBUG_FLAGS)
bsd.lib.mk:STRIP?= -s
bsd.lib.mk-.endif
--
bsd.own.mk-.if !defined(DEBUG_FLAGS)
bsd.own.mk:STRIP?= -s
bsd.own.mk-.endif
--
bsd.prog.mk-.if !defined(DEBUG_FLAGS)
bsd.prog.mk:STRIP?= -s
bsd.prog.mk-.endif
I absolutly don't understand how this variable is set.
Note that make make.conf(5) doesn't contain anything about STRIP, and
I also tried to do :
make DEBUG_FLAGS=-ggdb STRIP=''
but the result is exactly the sale unfortunately.
I surely have missed something, but I can't find what. I'm pretty sure
that ru@ has some explanations on this black magic stuff. :-)
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
