Thank you.

The build-time flag I was referring to was actually a linker option[1]:
-s
   Remove all symbol table and relocation information from the executable. 

When this option is passed to the ld linker in OSX the following warning occurs:
ld: warning: option -s is obsolete and being ignored


CMake does not natively support the packaging requirements for different 
languages. So I have not been able to use the install/strip targets generated 
by CMake or packaging you linked too.

Currently, I have a manual "dist" target for several languages to perform 
packaging[2], and not using the cpack infrastructure. I never heard any 
suggestions or examples on how to utilize cpack and cmake installation to help 
running a Python "setup.py" for packaging. For Java and CShap simple zips are 
generated, it wouldn't surprise me if cpack's components could be used for 
that. It may well worth the time to revisit these packaging issues.

Is there a macro/function to manually run the stripping in cmake? or does it 
only automatically happen on installation/packaging?

Brad
