Description Danny Milosavljevic 2007-07-31 10:27:38 UTC

libxslt strips debug info at the end, even after specifying USE="debug"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="debug" emerge dev-libs/libxslt
... stripping debugging information

Actual Results:  
no debug info

Expected Results:  
have debug info

Comment 1 Danny Milosavljevic 2007-07-31 10:32:17 UTC

I tried something along the lines of 

--------------------------<cut>------------------------------
 SRC_URI="ftp://xmlsoft.org/${PN}/${P}.tar.gz"
+use debug && RESTRICT="strip"

 src_unpack() {
--------------------------<cut>------------------------------
that doesn't work.

--------------------------<cut>------------------------------
 SRC_URI="ftp://xmlsoft.org/${PN}/${P}.tar.gz"
+RESTRICT="strip"

 src_unpack() {
--------------------------<cut>------------------------------
that does, but is suboptimal.

and line number information would still be missing, even in the latter case.

Comment 3 Danny Milosavljevic 2007-07-31 10:37:53 UTC

to summarize, to make it work with debug info, I had to:
1. add "RESTRICT=strip" to the ebuild
2. emerge the ebuild with
  USE="debug" CFLAGS="-g3" CXXFLAGS="-g3" emerge dev-libs/libxslt
then it worked. Sigh...

That's NOT what USE=debug is about.
