PATCH 2/2: Unconditional use of install-sh for install-strip (Re: cross-install-strip summary)

[Alexandre Duret-Lutz]

I'm not sure this is the right place to document this.

2001-03-06  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <address@hidden>

        * automake.texi (Requirements): Document the use of the STRIP
        variable in cross-compilation environments.

address@hidden STRIP, how to setup
address@hidden install-strip and STRIP
address@hidden AC_CHECK_TOOL([STRIP],[strip])
+Installed binaries are usually stripped using @code{strip} when you run
address@hidden install-strip}.  However @code{strip} might not be the
+right tool to use in cross-compilation environments, therefore
+Automake will honor the @code{STRIP} environment variable to overrule
+the program used to perform stripping.  Automake will not set @code{STRIP}
+itself.  If your package is not setup for cross-compilation you do not
+have to care (@code{strip} is ok), otherwise you can set @code{STRIP}
+automatically by calling @code{AC_CHECK_TOOL([STRIP],[strip])} from
+your @file{configure.in}.
