How to prevent a file from stripping?

I'm building vacation for Arch64 but should be the same for 32bit. PKGBUILD looks like this:

# $Id: PKGBUILD,v 1.1 2004/01/21 15:43:15 dale Exp $
# Maintainer: dale <dale@archlinux.org>

pkgname=vacation
pkgver=1.2.6.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="an automatic mail-answering program"
depends=(gdbm)
url="http://www.tosn.org/projects/vacation/"
source=(http://www.tosn.org/projects/vacation/files/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz vacation.patch)

build() {
    cd $startdir/src/$pkgname
        mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/{bin,man/man1}
        # keeps binary from building
        rm -rf vacation
    # fixing the Makefile - not only for arch64 
    sed -i -e 's: -m486::; s:CFLAGS.*= (.*):CFLAGS += 1:' $startdir/src/$pkgname/Makefile
    sed -i -e "s:/usr/bin:$startdir/pkg/usr/bin:g" $startdir/src/$pkgname/Makefile
    mv vacation.man vacation.1
    make install
}

These file have been created:

[andyrtr@workstation64 vacation]$ ls -lRA pkg/

I get this error:

Krusader detects it as a Perl program. Any idea?

Looks like its tring to install to /var/abs/extra/system/vacation/pkg/usr/bin....... ????

try make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg/usr install

:-(

I don't think it's related to the make install process. All files are at the right place. Post install the stripping fails. Should be something different

Re: How to prevent a file from stripping?

'makepkg -n' prevents makepkg from stripping.

Re: How to prevent a file from stripping?

Ok. I think I've solved it. It's not related to makepkg. That's why makepkg -n won't help here. It's an issue inside the Makefile. But good to know there's such an option ;-)

Thank you

So when the Makefile is quiet unusable I've dicided to install the files by hand and it's loking like this:

# $Id: PKGBUILD,v 1.1 2004/01/21 15:43:15 dale Exp $

source=(http://www.tosn.org/projects/vacation/files/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('0c14379b8fa09bea1a6a264330c7bd11')

build() {
    cd $startdir/src/$pkgname
    mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/{bin,man/man1}
    make || return 1
    install -s -m 755 vacation     $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/vacation
    install -m 755 vaclook         $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/vaclook
    install -m 444 vacation.man    $startdir/pkg/usr/man/man1/vacation.1
    install -m 444 vaclook.man     $startdir/pkg/usr/man/man1/vaclook.1
}
