when I use cmake in Release mode I have the following binary:
64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=485ac09b0a3aa879f88b7f5db6c00ea8d8e1eaf6, not stripped I want the binary to be stripped. How can I say to cmake in a clean way to add the -s option to my compiler to make it stripped?
Why did the Default Release mode not strip my binary?

CMake will use whatever path the running CMake executable is in. Furthermore, it may get confused if you switch paths between runs without clearing the cache. So what you have to do is simply instead of running cmake <path_to_src> from the command line, run ~/usr/cmake-path/bin/cmake <path_to_src> .
CMake is a meta build system that uses scripts called CMakeLists to generate build files for a specific environment (for example, makefiles on Unix machines). When you create a new CMake project in CLion, a CMakeLists. txt file is automatically generated under the project root.
CMakeLists. txt file contains a set of directives and instructions describing the project's source files and targets (executable, library, or both). When you create a new project, CLion generates CMakeLists. txt file automatically and places it in the project root directory.
Cleanest possible way is to modify CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS (depending on C or C++ code)
set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE} -s") set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE} -s") But there is one more hack if you do not want to change your build system (figuring out exact place where to put above lines might be tricky). You may just use strip as standalone application, like:
strip -s a.out and do this after executable is ready to release as a post-build step. I found this way cleaner, then disturbing compiler flags.
