What do you mean by "causes nothing but issues"? I don't have any problems stripping DLLs (though I don't use the -g flag, and I don't know what it does). I only had problems stripping .dll.a files (import libraries) for which I need to pass the --strip-unneeded flag, otherwise strip renders them unusable (as in applications linking against them get undefined references for the symbols that should be defined in the import library). > > Thanks in advance. > > - Paul Goins Armin > _______________________________________________ > gtkmm-list mailing list > gtkmm-list@gnome.org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
