v1.3 large linux library

[garrittg]

i just compiled the linux version of 1.3 and its around 30mb compared to the 8mb of the v1.2 library. is this comparable to the size of what others are getting?

thx.

Functionalities added and the final image will be larger in my mind.

Seriously, seems irrlicht's makefile exports symbols for you and
If library size is an issue, you can just strip the symbols.

please

man strip

and have a try.

Just open the Makefile and delete -g key from the CXXFLAGS variable. Then run make as usual

please do not use strip on the static lib, because it will be corrupted

Use the NDEGUB option. That way you will also get better performance as the Makefile will set optimizing compile flags. To set the flag just type on the console:
export NDEBUG=1

This way you don't need to change the Makefile.

Also, search for NDEBUG in the forum. At least one person is having an issue with NDEBUG on and exampe 7.

@Jiang - ill refrain from stripping. dont want to blind anyone

thanks for the replies. i really dont have an issue with the size, i just wanted to make sure it wasnt indicative of some other issue.
