I have a question related to building/compiling programs on oS 11.2. Recently I have compiled lyx 2.0.0rc3 with no problems and errors. The compiled program works, but the resulted lyx binary size is ~80 megabytes. The 1.6.9 binary from the build repo is ~7 MB.
Earlier when I compiled firefox 2 the resulted binary was ~40 MB, while the official binary was only ~12 MB.
What is the reason for getting so large binary files? How could I get a reasonably sized binary?
(When I built the program I did not change the options except for --prefix which I set to /usr/local/lyx. I used ./configure, make, make install commands.)
There should be no reason to have larger binaries if you have correctly compiled the app. Maybe you have used static libraries instead of shared ones when compiling. Use 'ldd app_name' to check shared libs dependencies. regards -- Bogdan Cristea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
