[omniORB] Library and Applications size

[Hany Greiss]

Hi,

    That's odd. I used strip on the .a version (I'm statically linking the
app). Did you do anything different?

Thanks,
Hany

Hi,

I have the same distribution with gcc 2.96 and i have stripped the library
down to 1570392 bytes
following the Duncan steps with no errors.

Hello,

    On a RedHat 7.2 system with gcc 2.96, stripping the library generated a
number of link errors in my case. I had no
problems if I did not strip the library.

The orb core is currently built with debugging, due to line 144 of
src/lib/omniORB/orbcore/dir.mk that says

  CXXDEBUGFLAGS = -g

Comment it out, do a make veryclean; make; make install for that
directory, and the library will get down to around 2MB. The -g will be
removed for the release, of course. To strip the library, do

  strip libomniORB4.so.0.0

in the installation lib directory. I think stripping it will prevent
programs that try to dlopen it from finding any symbols, but it works
fine for programs explicitly linked against it at link time.

Cheers,

Duncan.
