Why is self built package larger than pre-built
  • goddisignzgoddisignz December 2010
    Hi together,

    I tried to create a package via "tazwok cook mpd". It successfully compiled and built a nice package. The question i have now, why has the self-built package 268kB and the prebuilt package 132kB? Thats not even half the size! I really don't have much memory, so I even built my own Kernel with 1MB and without other modules. I try to get everything REALLY small.

    Is it because in the mpd makefile CFLAGS="-g -O2" insted of CFLAGS="-g -Os".
    By the Way, is there something like a make.conf (like in gentoo) where I can set the CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS.

    Thanks for any kind of information.

    Hi goddisignz,

    Maybe you can test this about flags :
    echo 'CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" 
    CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS"
    MAKEFLAGS=-j$((`grep processor /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l`+1))
    export CFLAGS CXXFLAGS MAKEFLAGS' >> /etc/tazwok.conf


    Note : don't use -pipe with less than 512Mb RAM free or you will experience gcc crashes.

    Hope this help.

    And I've no answer about the size of you're package.
