Garfinkel) writes: Has anybody tried running "strip" on Objectve-C files? Specifically, files compiled with the -g option. I've done so and the resultant files seem to core dump when I run them.... I assume you mean the executable (I don't know if you can run strip on .o files). The default 'make install' for IB projects will strip your file (via install -s, I think) after installing it. I've also stripped many files (Stuart's pre-stripped exec size in 2.0 is 1.5M at this time - after Stripping, 188k). I don't know what could cause the core dumps, though. Have you tried to gdb the core file? -- scott hess scott@gac.edu Independent NeXT Developer GAC Undergrad "Tried anarchy, once. Found it had too many constraints . . ."
