As far as I understand, Giorgio's concerns were that a plain "make install" strips the debug information from the binaries installed. However, I can't confirm this: $ file debian/peless/usr/bin/peless debian/peless/usr/bin/peless: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped (this is after changing debian/rules to use "make install" and break right after it) So, Giorgio, it seems perfectly safe to use "make install", no? -- dam JabberID: dam@jabber.minus273.org
