Hi,
after quite a big amount of work we have successfully landed this
morning a update to our build system which enables to build efl as a
single big .so instead of multiple seperated .so's. The layout is that
every single .so is merged into efl-one.so except:
- eolian: no normal app would benefit from it, and it would make our
build *a lot* more complex
- ecore_avahi: there is no real user for this within efl, in general i
dont think anyone is going to benefit from it
- efl_canvas_wl: This is also not beneficial to a standard efl application
- elua: This is only for bindings.
- ecore_drm / wayland : These are deprecated libs, not to confuse with
ecore_wl2 / ecore_drm2, which is included in efl-one
- exactness: Not useful for a normal efl app.
To build efl-one you need to pass: "-Defl-one=true" to meson. After this
is done, additionally to all the smaller libs, efl-one.so will be build.
The modules of ecore / evas etc. and all the binaries will link to
efl-one.so not to the smaller libraries. However, for compatibility
reasons, and complexity reasons, the small .so's are still build and
installed.
If you have an app that you want to test out with efl-one: There is now
a efl-one.pc file installed, which can be used to link to the correct
libraries, no other efl dependency is then required.
From some early profiling: this saves ~1MB of memory when running a efl
app, i have so far not tested out what impact it has on runtime
performance or first frame numbers.
greetings,
bu5hm4n
