Size of transmission-daemon file compiled

[simonbcn]

Hi,
I have compiled Transmission 2.04 from sources with: "./configure --disable-static"
The summary of this configure is:

Code: Select all

Configuration:

   Source code location:                              .
   Compiler:                                          g++

   Build Command-Line client:                         yes

   Build GTK+ client:                                 no

     Optional dependencies for GTK+ client:

      * dbus support:                                 no
      * gio for watchdir support:                     no
      * libnotify for 'download completed' popups:    no
      * libcanberra for 'download completed' sounds:  no
      * gconf2 to register as a magnet link handler:  no
      * libappindicator for an Ubuntu-style tray:     no

   Build Daemon:                                      yes

   Build Mac client:                                  no

Well, the transmission-daemon compiled has a size of 5'3MB!!
The transmission-daemon in .deb package has a size of 487KB + transmission-common 614Kb ~ 1MB
What am I doing wrong?
Regards.

i recently compiled a 2.04 nightly with "./configure --disable-gtk" and the transmission-daemon weighs in at 4.5 MB

above is just for info, as i don't understand the significance of the size

Probably the difference between your build and the one from .deb is that you haven't stripped out the debug info by using Unix's "strip" command:

Code: Select all

$ ls -hs transmission-daemon
4.8M transmission-daemon
$ strip transmission-daemon
$ ls -hs transmission-daemon
464K transmission-daemon
