I currently develop a qt based application. As i was debugging i saw there is problem with qt classes (<incomplete type> dbg information), problem was that i haven't got debugging symbols i qt lib, so first i do added debug flag to this ebuild (/etc/portage/packages.use) and emerged qt... And there is problem, at end of merge there is strip and it strips debugging symbols! As i search i found /usr/lib/portage/bin/prestrip script, i think this script strip every package... It only uses --strip-unneeded option so here is problem. If i specify debug option i WANT to have them... I think that this should be controlled by some variable or in other way.
If You have some suggestions how it is possible to do this in other way, maybe i do sth wrong... In end i "CTRL-Z" emerge before stripping and copy from /var/tmp unstripped library. I use it with LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable when i need it. -- Michal Kurgan -- [email protected] mailing list
