confSTRIP

---

The name of the program to strip the binary

Build macro

This is the name of the strip (1) program, which removes symbol-table information from a program and creates a smaller binary. The default is the name strip . To strip a program with Build , install it with install-strip instead of install :

 %  ./Build install-strip  Configuration: pfx=, os=SunOS, rel=4.1.3, rbase=4, rroot=4.1, arch=sun4, sfx= Making in ../obj.SunOS.4.1.3.sun4/praliases install -c -o bin -g bin -m 555 praliases /usr/etc strip  /usr/etc/praliases   note  

In rare circumstances, you might need to use a different program or a differently located version of strip to perform this function. You change strip with the confSTRIP build macro:

 define(`confSTRIP', `/usr/new/44BSD/strip') 

If you wish to always strip the binary, you can use the confLDOPTS macro (see confLDOPTS for a description of this end-run).
