[Evolution-hackers] Leaving debug symbols in

[Bob Purvy <bpurvy gmail com>]

apologies for this newbie question, but:

How do I keep the symbols from getting removed on 'make install' ?
I'm using 2.4.2.1, which I know is way old, but I have to use it for
reasons you don't want to know.

I can tell that 'strip' is getting called, but i can't figure out how.
 I went as far as to copy the 'touch' executable on top 'strip', but
that still didn't do it.  I also tried setting the STRIPPROG
environment variable to /bin/touch  but that didn't do it either.

What I really want to do is run it in gdb and figure out what's going
on.  If I could run the unstripped binary directly without doing 'make
install', that would be fine, but that doesn't seem to work.

thanks
