CMake: Strip release binaries

Description

Our CMake build does not strip release binaries resulting in bloated tarballs (especially if we build internal GDAL, whose un-stripped size is over 100MB).

This can be address by:

  • Setting CPACK_STRIP_FILES to TRUE to ensure all library targets are stripped before packaging
  • Manually running strip on any external .so files that are "installed" (eg. Internal gdal/xalan/xerces)

CMake: Strip release binaries as part of installation and packaging

Fixes #969

comment:2 by jng, 6 years ago

In 7828:

Our previous change for stripping binaries did the stripping at *CMake configuration* time (where the binaries to be stripped do not exist yet) and not at install time. For stripping to work at install time, we have to wrap the original execute_process invocation within an install(CODE ...) statement.

Fixes #969 for real
