Hi JPB,
Is your program using a debug build of the library? It
appears (since no -g
options) the final program is not asking for Debug symbols.
Would g++ warn
you of mixing debug/release versions?
My release builds of a typical CLI on a Windows platform (non MFC,
multi-threaded CRT) is about 200KB. Again I apologize - I'm
too far detached
from a *nix environment.

Subject: Size of executable
Hello,
I cannot seem to get the size of my executables down
to a reasonable
size. For example the simple program I posted to the list
yesterday is in
excess of 1.5Mb. I have managed to get the size down a few
hundred kb but
still it's quite large for so little code (added strip-all and that
reduced
it a couple of hundred Kb and so did removing static
option). This is my
comiler command, am I missing something?
g++ userinput.cpp -lcryptopp -L/usr/local/lib
-Wl,--strip-all -o shatest
I have read through the info in the FAQ but still I cannot
seem to keep
the
size down. Here are the includes CryptoPP, I am linking to
the FreeBSD
port
and not the fiels I compiled myself as that made the
executable larger:

OK that was weird, dropped my keyboard and accidentally
sent the email
before I was done typing :).. What are the chances!? Anyhow
to continue.
Here are the includes:
#include "/usr/local/include/cryptopp/modes.h"
#include "/usr/local/include/cryptopp/hex.h"
#include "/usr/local/include/cryptopp/filters.h"
#include "/usr/local/include/cryptopp/osrng.h"
#include "/usr/local/include/cryptopp/sha.h"
#include "/usr/local/include/cryptopp/hmac.h"
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
Any ideas?
// jpb
Hmmm.... No the version made in the ports tree should be a release build.
Also I tried adding -Os (optimize for size) but it did absolutely nothing!?
I am obviously missing something, there is no way a < 40 lines of code
program should result in a 1.6Mb executable?! I'll try a FreeBSD specific
list and see if I can get some help. Thanks anyhow for the tips.
