This is the expected behavior, CPack does not do the "stripping" it forwards it to CMake. The doc says it all: cpack version 2.8.10.20130117-g2b545 CPACK_STRIP_FILES List of files to be stripped Starting with CMake 2.6.0 CPACK_STRIP_FILES will be a boolean variable which enables stripping of all files (a list of files evaluates to TRUE in CMake, so this change is compatible). It's a boolean toggle. Basically CPack forward the stripping to the "install step" so this is no surprise that you external target/files/libs are not stripped I guess they should be stripped before being "imported" in your project. How do you integrate those external files? As IMPORTED TARGET then INSTALL(TARGETS or do you INSTALL(FILES ?? or ?? > Any suggestions?

The stripping code should be added to the installation time code as is it is with CMake handled target. May be it's doable by creating a CMake script which will do the extra stripping on the appropriate list of files. Then you'll have to: insttall(SCRIPT ...) The appropriate solution heavily depends on how you get external files installed along with your CMake handled targets. -- Erk Le gouvernement représentatif n'est pas la démocratie -- http://www.le-message.org -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
