Look at /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk in this section:
.if defined(WITH_DEBUG) && !defined(WITHOUT_DEBUG)
STRIP= #none
STRIP_CMD= ${TRUE}
DEBUG_FLAGS?= -g
CFLAGS:=${CFLAGS:N-O*:N-fno-strict*} ${DEBUG_FLAGS}
.endif
As you can see, if WITH_DEBUG is defined, then $STRIP will be a empty,
DEBUG_FLAGS and CFLAGS changes too.

Build with debug symbols
If I build a port with debugging information; i.e. 'make -g', is that debugging information stripped out when the program is installed? If so, is there anyway to prevent this from happening? I have been attempting to build 'claws-mail' with debugging information; however, when I run the program under 'gdb' that information does not appear to be present. I heard that there was a 'STRIP' flag I could set; however, I cannot find any definitive information regarding it. -- White Hat [EMAIL PROTECTED] Building a website is a piece of cake. Yahoo!
