*.so file are too big after compile

keygens · **Author**

Hello. After compiling sourcemod on linux, files in folders: bin/ and extensions/ are too big (4-5 MB) Sourcemod can't running, because files really big. What alliedmooders uses for compression * .so files on linux? Thanks.

You have a build with debug symbols, configure with --enable-optimize. This will not be affecting loading however - you've done something else wrong (probably building with GCC rather than Clang.)

Need to compile with clang? Ohh... mine package done by gcc. Probably this is a key for solution. Thanks.

Read more, and assume less!

Like Asherkin stated. You probably compiled with debug settings, hence the bigger file size. Compilers are not to be blamed here.

And if you read asherkin's response fully then read what you quoted, you will notice it was GCC's fault for the big .so size

filesize no, loading ye (from what i understood)

Size difference between Clang and GCC is nominal. I would still blame the debug option for the larger size.

dbi.mysql.ext.so = 7.5 MB. sourcemod.logic.so = 4.0 MB. Compiled with gcc 4.9, after, compiled with clang, and binaries have same size. What i'm doing wrong? Const for debug set to 0:

Code:

('--enable-debug', action='store_const', const='0', dest='debug', help='Enable debugging symbols')

Correct? But binaries still really big. Configure.py are originally from https://github.com/alliedmodders/sou...r/configure.py

Code:

python ../configure.py --enable-optimize (are not help too, binaries still alot of MB)

Looks like someone derped this again, add --symbol-files as well.

Need to use with --enable-optimize?
