Gimp binary size

I apologize for this question

The Gimp 1.2 I have is 2113804 bytes, it came with the MDK 9 distro The Gimp 1.3.11 was 3597994 bytes, officially released 1.3.11 A recent Gimp 1.3.12 was 38551604 from one of the CVS repositories

Why are the binaries of the 1.3 series 15 times the size of 1.2 ?

TIA

Owen

Wild guess: They probably still have the debug info attached. Try using "strip" on the binary (or use "make install-strip").

HTH! Tino.

Yes, that's exactly the reason for the insane size. You probably use gcc 3.2?? I noticed the same some days ago.

ciao, --mitch

this is not related to the gcc version but to the default cflags. as for now, most packages come with -g or -g -O2 as default cflags due to the autoconf suite default, which is plain right for debugging.

with the same cflags, gimp-1.2 is 2.0Mb (1997900 bytes) in current mdk cooker and gimp-1.3 is 2.3Mb (2323564) in current mdk contribs.

most probably because of the compiler you use, my gimp-1.3 binary (built using gcc-2.95.4) is 7416112 bytes with debugging info and 2122728 bytes stripped. I heard that newer versions of gcc create huge binaries if debugging info is included.

Salut, Sven

Thanks, using the strip option reduced the binary size to 2109532.
