<EM>&gt; The GNU standards also require an install-strip target. You are not

<EM>&gt; required to use the GNU standards, of course. But the reason for the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; GNU standards is that they are often useful. Here's quote for the GNU
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; standards which explains the reasons for the targets.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; `install-strip'
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Like `install', but strip the executable files while installing
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; them. In many cases, the definition of this target can be very
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; simple:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; install-strip:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; $(MAKE) INSTALL_PROGRAM='$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) -s' \
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; install
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Normally we do not recommend stripping an executable unless you
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; are sure the program has no bugs. However, it can be reasonable
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to install a stripped executable for actual execution while saving
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; the unstripped executable elsewhere in case there is a bug.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;

<P>Hi Kevin,
<BR>
<P>SANE is still under development. We have a lot of alpha and beta drivers in
<BR>
it and it is not in our interest that the sane libraries are installed stripped.
<BR>
The sane policy is to install the libraries non-stripped and I suggest that
<BR>
this is done for Debian's sane version too.
<BR>
<P>Bye
<BR>
Oliver
