about using `--strip`.

@ -61,9 +62,17 @@ After building using the Windows subsystem it can be useful to copy the compiled
executables to a directory on the Windows drive in the same directory structure
as they appear in the release `.zip` archive. This can be done in the following
way. This will install to `c:\workspace\bitcoin`, for example:
```shell
cmake --install build --prefix /mnt/c/workspace/bitcoin
```
cmake --install build --prefix /mnt/c/workspace/bitcoin
Note that due to the presence of debug information, the binaries may be very large,
if you do not need the debug information, you can prune it during install by calling:
```shell
cmake --install build --prefix /mnt/c/workspace/bitcoin --strip
```
You can also create an installer using:
cmake --build build --target deploy
```shell
cmake --build build --target deploy
```
