Re: running strip automatically in PB

What's the deal with getting strip to happen on your target executables in
PB? Maybe I am just not clever, but I have looked at the PB release notes
about this stuff a few times now and I still don't get it. I can't figure
out what exactly COPY_PHASE_STRIP, STRIPFLAGS, SEPARATE_STRIP, etc. all
do.

We were just talking about this a short while ago...

COPY_PHASE_STRIP, if YES, will make PB strip the debugging symbols out of every piece of Mach-O code that PB copies into the application bundle by means of "copy files" build phases. This is very useful if, for example, you built a framework with debugging symbols, and you want to embed the framework into an application bundle. If the framework wasn't stripped, then it would fill the application bundle with debugging symbols, which is unacceptable for shipping applications. If you are not copying anything into the application bundle, then COPY_PHASE_STRIP does nothing.

STRIPFLAGS and SEPARATE_STRIP control stripping the binary, but they only work if you're doing an install build.

If you're not doing an install build, but you still want to strip something after it's built, then you have to do it in a shell script build phase if you don't want to do it manually. Check the archives; I recently sent a message to the list explaining how to write the shell code.
