Why doesn't install-strip strip shared libraries sometimes

[Yuri]

I came across one project in which install-strip doesn't strip the
shared library: liblink-grammar.so in
https://github.com/opencog/link-grammar

As an opposite example, showing the normal behavior, install-strip
strips libexpat.so in
https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/tree/master/expat.


What might prevent install-strip from stripping liblink-grammar.so?


Thanks,

Yuri

I have looked at the issue you have on the link-grammar bug-tracker [1]. I
would need more information to diagnose the problem. Could you provide the
“config.log” and the output of ‘make install-strip V=1’ for both projects?
