Actually, no, I don't remember... it's yet another long documentation to
read through...  I did cut through in shotcut.

If there's an option, why doesn't qmake.port.mk does it automatically ?

That's still cool that you looked at it... I hope it's going to be automatic.

You can simply use CONFIG += force_debug_info to get debug symbols even
in release mode for qmake applications. (MODQMAKE_ARGS +=
CONFIG+=force_debug_info) do you remember?

I did the work for CMake too, did anybody care? No! It doesn't matter

about BUILD_PACKAGES and no-strip

2020-05-24 Thread Marc Espie
There are some special needs ports  like cmake and qmake with labyrinthine
options to figure out what to build "release" and you get no debug info.
"debug" and you get wy too much stuff.

the tweak I committed  a few days ago does cut through the red tape...

Tool wants special treatment to accommodate DEBUG_PACKAGES  ? Just say no.
If it is too complicated to compile with -g *and* prevent the tool from
running strip during fake, just *let it* run strip.

The secret is NOT to tell it that this particular "strip" does nothing ;)


What matters is the result.

Aint nobody got time for that s***.
