Hi. I've been building 0.70 for a while, though I'm still running 0.65. When I compile, I usually use set the CXXFLAGS variable to "-O2 -march=pentium-mmx", producing a blackbox executable for my machine around 440K. I'm running on i586-pc-linux-gnu, compiling with GCC-3.2.2 (cvs).
As the new KDE-3.1 release is coming out, I decide to grab it and build it (slowly!) on my machine. In doing so, I see it will append '-fno-check-new' and '-fno-execptions' to the c++ compile commands. A few minutes in the GCC info pages indicate that these options could be useful for blackbox, so I rebuild blackbox with these flags in addition to my usual set, and the size of the executable drops to 360K! This size decrease has made me curious as to what flags people typically compile blackbox with. As I'm on linux, I'm only interested in GCC flags. Is there an optimal compiler flag setting that can squeeze even a little more performance out of the already quick blackbox?
