Re: Compiling Kicad using MSVC

 

Mateusz,

Can you please look into the reason why there are debug symbols in the
windows binaries made with CMake?

I see this line is trying to link and strip the symbols, but we need
to verify that it is having an effect on Windows:

SET(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_RELEASE "-s")

If the -s is given to the link step, it should strip symbols, and
running strip.exe on the subsequent output executable should have no
(appreciable) change in size if the symbols were actually stripped.

Thanks!

Dick
