Hello,

I need some help: my 2.1.4 gimp has an 55392K size binary.

Of course I ./configure --enable-shared then --disable-static with the same result.

Thanks, Aewyn

Debugging symbols (built in by default) are a large part of that. Running strip on the resulting binary reduces it to about 3M (from memory). You could also investigate the 'make install-strip' option (instead of 'make install') so that the binaries are stripped of debugging symbols.

Of course, for a 2.1 release, this is a little counter-productive, since you will then not be able to file useful backtraces if things go horribly wrong, etc. But if disk space is tight, that is one option.

Cheers, Malcolm

Another option is to upgrade to gcc version 3.4 which produces considerably smaller binaries. My gimp-2.1 binary is 11MB unstripped. It used to be 55MB when I was using gcc version 3.3.

Hello,

Thank you for all answers :) striped works, and gcc-3.4 too.

But: running gimp, I got messages: gimp-2.1:375: warning: can't find numbered character 160 uncountable.

I'm new at gimp buliding, I always use gimp shipped with debian sid, so please take a little tolerance to me :)

Thanks, Aewyn

I have never ever seen this message with any application. No idea what could be causing this.

It's a font problem, somewhere a font is being used that does not handle character #160.

Thank you, now I have solved the problem:

I ran gimp this way: gimp-2.1 2>/dev/null

and next time, tadam, gimp runs pretty.

It seems, gimp needs run to cure itself. :) (the problem caused by some missing conf file, I think)

Thanks, Aewyn.
