, as some mistaken software strips dynamic libraries,
-which may lead to weird failures later. On the other hand, executable binaries
-SHOULD be stripped; file
can be used to determine this. If the
-port already contains code for stripping binaries, use it (i.e., an
-'install-strip' target); otherwise, add a provision in the port Makefile.
+Libraries should never be stripped. Executables are stripped by default;
+this is governed by ${INSTALL_STRIP}
.
+${INSTALL_PROGRAM}
honors this automatically and is
+preferable to unconditional stripping (e.g., by an "install-strip"
+target or by running "strip" from the Makefile). You can use
+file
to determine if a binary is stripped or not.
