Version 0.9.8 on FreeBSD.

and what is exactly the problem ? what true benefits will it bring to have any common shared libraries (ie. libdrumkv1.so. and libdrumkv1_ui.so.) being stripped anyhow ? is it just about saving some lousy bytes in binary size ?

[Yuri]

The framework complains about unstripped binaries.
It tries to enforce some constraints that are commonly perceived to be beneficial.

[Rui Nuno Capela]

well, at least in linux, it is not advisable nor the least beneficial in any kind to strip shared libraries; have no clue about freebsd though.

static libraries is another story... but anyhow, in the end of the day it's all about your call as a packager on your platform of choice... just don't push that call into upstream ;)

[Yuri]

In terms of saving space it is beneficial on every OS.

Depending on the compile options, unstripped binaries can be 10X larger.
