Re: [PATCH] Re: stripping of DLLs?

%{_mingw32_debug_install_post} to the spec file. %global doesn't work in this case! Does this work on packages which are mixed native and cross such as mingw32-nsis? And it should indeed be -debuginfo, not -debug. Kevin Kofler ___ fedora-mingw

Re: [PATCH] Re: stripping of DLLs?

generates corrupt executables which crash or trigger errors in tools like UPX or objdump (and may also have other ill side effects). If debuginfo extraction works, that would of course solve this particular issue, as well as the bloat issue. Kevin Kofler
