hi all,i noticed that with faust-2.60.3, building now produces (among other things) a file libfaustwithllvm.a, which is... huge (286MB).
this might not be a big problem if you locally build faust and have an actual use for this file, but I wonder whether I could live without this library just as well. I'm asking this with my Debian hat on: currently everybody who installs the 'faust' Debian package will have to download and install this largish library. (and speaking with my eat-your-own-dogfood user hat on: both my laptop and my desktop have /very/ full harddisks: installing an extra 280MB is a serious problem; i know I could get another harddisk, but then: the one is a laptop, the other belongs to the uni and it takes ages to get a hardware upgrade)
so i've grepped the sources a bit, and it seems that this library is only used by "faustgen~", which I understand to be a Max/MSP thing, so doesn't need to concern me (since Max doesn't run on Debian). (yes, there's also pd-faustgen, but this has not seen any updates for the last 3 years or so).
so my question is: - is it save for me to remove this file from the Debian faust package- if not: is it a good idea to move it out of the default installation/package - or even better: can faustgen~ (or whichever consumer of this library) also be built without statically linking the full LLVM toolchain (given that Debian can enforce depedencies to be installed by its package manager)
