Error during installation: strip "File format not recognized"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm installing pandoc 1.2.1 on Ubuntu Server (9.04 (jaunty)). I
installed the Ubuntu packages as described in the pandoc install doc.
Then had to also install the zlib1g-dev package, and then did the
cabal quick install.

Then used cabal to install utf8-string and zip-archive. Worked fine.

Finally, I grabbed the pandoc source and attempted to install into my
own ~/opt dir. I unpacked into ~/opt/src, ran `CABALOPTS=--user make`,
then `make test` (everything passed). Finally, here's where I hit my
issue:

$ PREFIX=~/opt make install ./setup build Preprocessing library pandoc-1.2.1... Preprocessing executables for pandoc-1.2.1...

Thanks for reporting.  Quick fix in the mean time:
Edit Makefile, line 21:

- EXECSBASE := $(shell sed -ne 's/^[Ee]xecutable:\{0,1\}[[:space:]]*//p' 
$(CABAL))
+ EXECSBASE := pandoc

Then do your make install again.

Fixed in r1606, but keeping this bug report open as a reminder to give the 
Makefile
some attention before the next release.

Makefile seems to work properly now.
