Hi,
there is a bug here: http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=14123 , which
says that under Windows when using mingw .dll.a files should not be stripped
during install.
A patch is also attached, which keeps import libraries from being stripped
during install:
diff --git a/Source/cmInstallTargetGenerator.cxx
b/Source/cmInstallTargetGenerator.cxx
index ed01210..5461252 100644
--- a/Source/cmInstallTargetGenerator.cxx
+++ b/Source/cmInstallTargetGenerator.cxx
@@ -717,9 +717,9 @@ cmInstallTargetGenerator::AddStripRule(std::ostream& os,
const std::string& toDestDirPath)
{
- //dont strip static libs, because it removes the only symbol table
+ //dont strip static and import libs,because it removes the only symbol table
// they have so you can't link to them anymore
- if(this->Target->GetType() == cmTarget::STATIC_LIBRARY)
+ if(this->Target->GetType() == cmTarget::STATIC_LIBRARY || this-
>ImportLibrary)
{
return;
}
This looks reasonable to me, still I'd like to get some advice whether this is
the right thing to do, also e.g. for MS compilers etc.
Thanks
Alex
