== Guidelines ==

''Note:'' This section is only of interest for Linux package maintainers.

Here we outline the packaging scheme currently recommended by the engine development team.

=== Binary Distros ===

We recommend using <code>CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELWITHDEBINFO</code>, and later splitting the debug symbols off into separate files with a command like this:

<font color="#77DD00"><code><pre>
#!/bin/sh

MINGW_HOST="i586-mingw32msvc-" # depends on your version of MinGW
if [ $(expr match "${TARGET_OS}" 'win') -gt 0 ]; then
	# when compiling for windows
	HOST_PREFIX="${MINGW_HOST}"
	FILE_LIST="spring.exe spring-dedicated.exe spring-headless.exe unitsync.dll $(find AI/Skirmish -name SkirmishAI.dll | xargs echo)"
else
	# when compiling for linux
	HOST_PREFIX=""
	FILE_LIST="spring spring-dedicated spring-headless libunitsync.so $(find AI/Skirmish -name libSkirmishAI.so | xargs echo)"
fi

for toStripFile in ${FILE_LIST}; do
	if [ -f "${toStripFile}" ]; then
		debugFile=${toStripFile}.dbg
		echo "stripping debug-symbols from ${toStripFile} to ${debugFile} ..."
		# create debugFile
		${HOST_PREFIX}objcopy --only-keep-debug ${toStripFile} ${debugFile}
		# strip toStripFile
		${HOST_PREFIX}strip --strip-debug --strip-unneeded ${toStripFile}
		# connect debugFile to toStripFile
		# This should only be done if you want to painlessly use GDB.
		# For getting a translated stack-trace in infolog.txt, this is not required.
		# It will slow down spring a lot at runtime, if you do this,
		# and keep the debug symbols around.
		#${HOST_PREFIX}objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink=${debugFile} ${toStripFile}
	fi
done
</pre></code></font>
