Vala strip

Postby Scooby » 12 Feb 2014, 21:23

When I check my compiled vala executable with "file" command I get

ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=ed63a8866b14321403b0eec4232a518613014026, not stripped

It says not stripped? How do you strip?

*EDIT*

Found command "strip" :D

Strip removes or modifies the symbol table attached to the output of the assembler and linker.
This is useful to save space after a program has been debugged and to limit dynamically bound symbols.
It's part of the gcc package (vala converts vala code to c, gcc processes the c file and invokes the assembler and the linker).
It's not a vala specific tool...
