I'm not the one who build a small binary. You could try to: use ulibc http://www.uclibc.org/ (I'm not sure if fossil will compile/work) use compression http://upx.sourceforge.net/ with regards to disable wiki and bug tracking you could change relevant sections like /* ** WEBPAGE: tktview ** URL: tktview?name=UUID ** ** View a ticket. */ if your would change WEBPAGE: to WEB: then the fossil preprocessor will not include those functions. It is a bit of work, I don't know if it works. (I wonder if it could be make configurable e.g. -DWIKI=1 -DTICKET=1 to compile in this subsystems.) if it will save you a lot of space I don't know. upx compression is the easiest and simplest and can give you instant results. The other 2 options is a lot of work. But I find the ulibc one interesting. Maybe I'll give it a try myself :-) -- Rene _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
