Bug 143857 – net-analyzer/nload-0.6.0 installs a pre-stripped binary

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christian Heim (RETIRED) 2006-08-14 01:45:01 UTC]

portage complains about the binary being prestripped.

QA Notice: pre-stripped files found:
/tmp/portage/nload-0.6.0/image/usr/bin/nload

The configure.in is adding -s to LDFLAGS which in fact strips the binary. I've no idea if the Makefile.in patches are really necessary, but I think so.

See above URL (or the attached patch) to fix this issue.

This patch removes the LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -s" adding from the configure.in and rewrites the install-strip within the Makefile to just read $(MAKE) install

Ok, thanks to strerror for the hint, that Makefile.in is recreated from Makefile.am after running eautoreconf. So its enough to just remove the LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -s" statement from the configure.in and run eautoreconfig.

Just commited the fix. Thanks to dragonheart for letting me fix it.
