[c32384e] | 13 | <para>This section is optional. If the intended user is not a
|
---|
| 14 | programmer and does not plan to do
|
---|
[ddd5542] | 15 | any debugging on the system software, the system size can be decreased
|
---|
[ad15abd] | 16 | by about 2 GB by removing the debugging symbols from binaries and
|
---|
[ddd5542] | 17 | libraries. This causes no inconvenience other than not being able to
|
---|
| 18 | debug the software fully anymore.</para>

|
---|
[826bbcc] | 20 | <para>Most people who use the commands mentioned below do not
|
---|
[ddd5542] | 21 | experience any difficulties. However, it is easy to make a typo and
|
---|
| 22 | render the new system unusable, so before running the
|
---|
[826bbcc] | 23 | <command>strip</command> commands, it is a good idea to make a
|
---|
[ddd5542] | 24 | backup of the LFS system in its current state.</para>
|

| 25 |
|
---|
[de28837] | 26 | <para>The debugging symbols for selected libraries are placed
|
---|
| 27 | in separate files. These debugging information is needed if running
|
---|
[c32384e] | 28 | regression tests that use <ulink
|
---|
[826bbcc] | 29 | url='&blfs-book;/general/valgrind.html'>valgrind</ulink> or <ulink
|
---|
| 30 | url='&blfs-book;/general/gdb.html'>gdb</ulink> later in BLFS.

[6c8a79a] | 32 |
|
---|
[de28837] | 33 | <para>And, <command>strip</command> will overwrite the binary or library
|
---|
| 34 | file. This may crash the processes using code or data from the file. If
|
---|
| 35 | the process running <command>strip</command> itself is affected, the
|
---|
| 36 | binary or library being stripped may be destroyed. This may make the
|
---|
| 37 | system completely unusable. To avoid it, we'll copy some libraries and
|
---|
| 38 | binaries into <filename class="directory">/tmp</filename>, strip them
|
---|
| 39 | there, and install them back with the <command>install</command> command.
|

|
---|
| 41 | rationale to use the <command>install</command> command here.</para>
