Maybe it was statically linked with something that is usually dynamically linked? John.

Humm.. this is really bizarre! I have just tried gcc-2.95 and gcc 3.2.3 and both produce ~260k binaries with -Os and stripped. > I always use the gcc option -Os, which turns off all optimisations that increase code size... Don't know how much it will help, but there's no harm in trying ;) Just a nitpick, but that's not completely true. -Os will keep the optimizations -O2 perform _but_ which do not increase the code size too much. Furthermore, it adds some optimizations to reduce code size. There have been reports of programs (or even the Linux kernel) running faster with -Os then -O2 due to the small code size (which can eventually fit inside the CPU cache). But, yes, Simon could try to compile with -Os. Nonetheless, a 1.6 MiB dillo binary (stripped) is very odd. (Heck, I've just tried to compile with -O0 and I got a 329KiB binary). Maybe a GCC bug? Which version are you using? regards, -- Livio <livio(a)ime.usp.br>

dillo binary size

by Simon Davis

Hi, After building dillo 0.7.1.2 and stripping the binary the file size is almost 1.6 megs. When I built 0.7 the final binary came out to be 289k. I built both using the uclibc library and gcc 3.2. Is there some special configuration option I need to add to make the binary smaller? Thanks SD __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

It's been a long long time I haven't had a laugh so good as this situation produced me! ! ! :-) ! ! Ah, life is incredible, even in the software world! This happened: as I needed a short dialog for testing the 'chat' capabilities of the dpi framework, I decided this funny one: Dillo: Hi server bm_srv: Hi browser Dillo: I want to set a bookmark bm_srv: Is it worth? Dillo: Sure it is! bm_srv: Ok, send it Because of a uninitialized character string bug, and some downright uncanny forces of our universe it happened to stop just at that point for you! ;) (some other reports show a direct crash or no problem at all!) Believe it or not, that short dialog takes place everytime you add a bookmark! It is there to show how to exchange information between the browser and the dpi program. Just get 0.7.1.2 and I'll pray it not to happen again! :-) Cheers Jorge.-

With the compression algorithms incorporated in modem transfers, the is probably very little difference in transfer time. The bz2 files are more tightly compressed and would allow for less compression during transfer versus the opposite condition for gzipped files.
