In order to take up Andrea's suggestion for Lukas' concern: CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.8 FATAL_ERROR) PROJECT(DEBUGINFO C) SET(CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE ON) FILE(WRITE ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/main.c "int main(void){return 0;}\n") ADD_EXECUTABLE(main main.c) FIND_PROGRAM(OBJCOPY objcopy) ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(TARGET main POST_BUILD COMMAND ${OBJCOPY} --only-keep-debug $<TARGET_FILE:main> ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/main.dbg COMMAND ${OBJCOPY} --strip-debug $<TARGET_FILE:main> COMMAND ${OBJCOPY} --add-gnu-debuglink=main.dbg $<TARGET_FILE:main> ) INSTALL(TARGETS main RUNTIME DESTINATION bin) INSTALL(FILES ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/main.dbg DESTINATION bin) This exemplary project simply follows objcopy's manpage w.r.t. the --only-keep-debug switch and works on *nix. Does it not work for you, or is it not clean enough?
