Hello, in order to speed up our link step, I wanted to experiment with split dwarf. See http://www.productive-cpp.com/improving-cpp-builds-with-split-dwarf/
Adding the compilation flag is easy, but I'm stumbling on the installation step. In our current mode, we redirect the STRIP step to extract the symbols and strip the binary. With split dwarf, I want to use 'dwp' to collect all .dwo files and assemble a symbol file. No need to strip I guess since symbols are already put elsewhere. So I figure I would just use dwp as the strip command in my custom strip command. Problem is .dwo files are recorded in the .o files relative to the build directory and the strip command is executed on the installed directory. As a result, 'dwp' complains it cannot find the .dwo files. I don't want to add a POST_BUILD step on each our binaries (we have lots of binaries), and anyway I'd rather prefer to have the 'dwp' step executed at install time so it's executed only when we want to deliver. Is there a way to either - pass the build_dir to the strip command ? - define a custom step of the install process that would execute on the build dir previous to the install step itself ? (for the same reason I don't want to manually define a POST_BUILD step on each binaries, I don't want to manually define a custom INSTALL step that would precede the INSTALL step of all our binaries) - or another option ?
