Yes, -DTHREADSAFE=1 enables thread safety

So the compiler put a lot of debugging symbols into the output files. With -DNDEBUG=1 you disabled the debugging mode - now the compiler doesn't generate the debugging symbols. Thus the resulting files are much smaller. You can verify this: - Compile without -DNDEBUG=1. The resulting library should have the old length - Now remove the debugging symbols by using the strip command (strip libsqlite.so) - Now the library should have about 260K again... The strip command removes debugging symbols from object files, executables and libraries while -DNDEBUG=1 causes the compiler to not generate them (and so it's useless to strip the library after creation)... - Danny -- Danny Reinhold Reinhold Software & Services http://www.rsas.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
