Hi,

My one project uses 5 packages. If I want to create a release version, must I set the Project + the 5 packages all to "release build profile" and then recompile each one?

Or is it sufficient to only change the Project's build mode to "release"? [leaving the 5 package's compiler settings as-is]

There are several possibilities.
You can define a macro which is appended to all your packages and/or you can define for each package its own release mode.

You need a current svn version for this.

Hello all,

Lazarus newbie here, Delphi experienced though...

I ran some tests and the "Strip Symbols from Executable" option in the IDE does not seem to have any effect (Win32, 0.9.30), is this option broken in the current release?

I know about strip (CLI) and upx, and both work, my question is related to the IDE only. I searched the bug tracker without success

Thanks in advance,
Renato

I am facing a strange problem with Lazarus' multithreading examples: take for example the multithreadingexample1, when I run it it halts when I move the mouse over the application's form with a 'External:SIGSEGV'. In the assembler window I can see the execution point at a "repnz scas %es:(%edi),%al" instruction.

I'm running under win32, 0.9.30.

Did anyone run into that?

I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but when you specify that you want to add debug-information to your application, the strip option is ignored, because we got too much bug reports 'debugging does not work'.

And that's ok IMO. Maybe we should add an warning/information dialog when both options are on.

No, simply disable the "strip symbols" option in the dialog when "debug info" is enabled. Seeing that they are both exclusive, the obvious choice would be to create two radio buttons in the dialog.

No fancy warnings are required, just a small redesign of the dialog in question should suffice.

Meanwhile, I got it working (had to remove the debugging and line number options), thanks!
