Hanno, That is pretty interesting post. I have never even looking into building my own kde. I think tho, that it could be a pretty kewl option for debianers. Have a really nice readme that really tells what all the options do and how to do it the 'debian way' .. Really sounds quite interesting.
In fact, how about something like a script the 'autobuild' kde per platfrom? One would download the source and run the script and bingo, a brand new locally built for your particular box product! I'll put it on my 'roundtoit' list. :) On Wednesday 21 March 2001 10:57, Hanno Mueller wrote: > Hi, > > the exceptions optimization literally reduces the size of > everyting related to qt by several megs a piece with no > detriemntal effects. -03 is important because it > turns on inlining, which is a big win for C++ code with > lots of tiny functions.
