"/usr/bin/strip: File format not recognized" while packing

Hi.

I would build a package for wingide but after the build process came a strange error:

$ makepkg
==> Erstelle Paket: wingide 3.0.4-1  (Do 13. Mär 17:10:33 CET 2008)
==> Prüfe Laufzeit-Abhängigkeiten...

/usr/bin/strip: opt/wingide/bin/2.4/src/debug/tserver/64bit/tdbgtracer24.so: File format not recognized

the PKGBUILD file:

# Contributor: Andreas Schönfelder <passtschu@freenet.de>
pkgname=wingide
pkgver=3.0.4
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="The intelligent development environment for python programmers"

md5sums=('0fd31ac2e7851d1b777f8c100f480e40')

build() 
{
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver-$pkgrel-i386-linux

  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/{opt/wingide,usr/bin}
  tar -xC $startdir/pkg/opt/wingide -f binary-package-$pkgver-$pkgrel.tar

  sed -e "s/^DIR=.*$/DIR=\/opt\/wingide/" -i $startdir/pkg/opt/wingide/wing
  mv $startdir/pkg/opt/wingide/wing $startdir/pkg/usr/bin
}
# vim:syntax=sh

Re: "/usr/bin/strip: File format not recognized" while packing

Adding options=(!strip) to the PKGBUILD will skip that step, but make other binaries significantly larger. If you just get the output but that package is built successfully, I would ignore it.

Re: "/usr/bin/strip: File format not recognized" while packing

Thanks. The size is not the problem - the package is pre-build... No need to be compiled.
