Hi Corinna,

it's pari-gp the program I'm having trouble packaging.

If I compile it manually, without cygport, then I'm able to execute it.
If I use cygport, then the program misbehaves.

I've noticed that cygport strips the binaries, so I thought that could 
be the issue.


Also setting


RESTRICT="strip" and STRIP=/usr/bin/true


seems to strip some information compared to the manually built binary.

Best

Federico


PS:
Why does cygport strip binaries by default?
Doesn't it generally makes harder to debug issues?
If stripping removes unused data I would actually expect the compiler to 
not generate it, and if the data is used....

Is it a common practice for GNU/Linux distribution to strip binaries 
when creating packages?
