[opensuse] building lyx results in very large executable file in openSUSE 11.2
Hello: 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.) Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

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

It sounds like you built with statically linked libraries.
How could I get a reasonably sized binary?
Build with dynamically linked libraries. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Will, thanks for pointing this out. As I do not like to build programs I usually prefer to use the repos. But I don't want to remove the stable version yet, so I can not install the rpm.

Thank you all for your help. I did not build with static libraries. I got the large binary since the --enable-debug option is enabled by default for the rc version of lyx. After disabling it rebuilding the program resulted in a 10 MB binary. Applying strip on the 80 MB binary also reduced the size to 8 MB.

If you create the rpm with checkinstall, it will automatically run "strip" (configurable). - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

that's more likely in the case of "lyx", debug information. Unless the package itself includes bundled libraries of course. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
