<my-edk2-folder>/Build/OvmfX64/RELEASE_GCC5/X64/MdeModulePkg/Application/UiApp/UiApp/DEBUG/UiApp.dll is generated by GenFw tool. When GenFw tool convert ELF image to EFI image, it inserts the debug entry with the below string.

Subject: [edk2-devel] Remove debug strings from OVMF.fd

 

Hi EDK2 developers,

 

I'm trying to build OVMF without debug symbols but even building as RELEASE, I still can see some strings on the PE files, such as:

<my-edk2-folder>/Build/OvmfX64/RELEASE_GCC5/X64/MdeModulePkg/Application/UiApp/UiApp/DEBUG/UiApp.dll

and many others in the format */DEBUG/*.dll

 

Is there a way to build without these strings?

 

Thanks!
