This is not the way strip behaves under linux, typing strip --strip-unneeded still gives a usable library though. I know what the man page says, but don't you think defaulting to --strip-unneeded would give a smaller surpries factor, expecially since it's always, AFAIK, been that way? ;^) To use the included install-sh, cp it to .../cdk/install-sh and to /bin/install and ln -s install.exe install-real somewhere in your path. it's about 70% faster, and the installed files retain the .exe extension (*jeffdb AT netzone DOT nospam DOT com) the return address for this message is anti spammed remove *&nospam from the above address to reply.
