TnFOX Size?
by Leto Atreides
::
Rate this Message:
I have a question about the size of TnFOX vs the size of 'regular' FOX. I have a regular fox lib thats 3.75 MB compiled (unstripped, release) with all the goodies I wanted. A regular compile of TnFOX is 7.11 MB (unstripped, release).
Is there a way to cut TnFOX's size down considerably? Some scon flag to disable things? (This is how I compile FOX) ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-jpeg --enable-png --enable-tiff --enable-bz2lib --disable-cups --without-xshm --without-xrandr --enable-release --enable-shared=yes --enable-static=no --with-opengl --without-xcur (This is how I compile TnFOX) scons tnfox Any help would be appreciated (BTW, I dont know if my subscription to the tnfox mailing list has been activated yet, so I might not get the reply if its to the list) -- Talent is not something you learn, its something you refine. If you make something that any idiot can use, only idiots will use it. |

You should get around a 4.5- 5Mb file rather than 7Mb. Earlier GCC's produced too much code. > (This is how I compile FOX) > ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-jpeg --enable-png --enable-tiff > --enable-bz2lib --disable-cups --without-xshm --without-xrandr > --enable-release --enable-shared=yes --enable-static=no --with-opengl > --without-xcur > > (This is how I compile TnFOX) > scons tnfox Admittedly, I leave all that stuff turned on and there currently isn't any formal way of removing it. Hack config/g++.py and remove the stuff you don't want by simply commenting it out. I personally prefer this system as it means you can simply type "scons" and you don't need to remember complex command line pars.

I only care about turning off the features that I dont use that would have large impact on the lib size. 7.5ish MB compared to 3.5ish MB is a huge difference. Know of any specific features that add alot of space?

Know of any specific features that add alot of space? Yes, GCC 3.3's template parser is not very good and generates a lot of unnecessary code. This adds around 2Mb of unnecessary code. As TnFOX uses a lot of templates, it's not like it can be compiled out. Best thing is to move to a better compiler. They totally replaced the template parser in 3.4 and the output shrinks massively, as well as running a lot faster. If that's simply not possible, don't worry you'll get the binary shrink when Knoppix upgrades to 3.4. The current situation will be temporary.

I actually did use 3.4 for the compile of TnFOX (3.3 wouldnt work), and its still a pretty large lib compared to FOX. Stripping can probably take a small chunk away but not enough to make a large difference.
What is all being compiled into TnFOX that makes it so much larger? All I need is basic GUI code with the IPC features.

All I > need is basic GUI code with the IPC features. Well there's an additional 35,000 lines of code in there which is about a third more than FOX v1.4. Here are some figures (for msvc7.1): FOX 1.6 (with /O2): 2.14Mb TnFOX no GUI: 0.95Mb TnFOX minimal: 2.97Mb (+39%) TnFOX full: 4.4Mb (+106%) If you want something approaching minimal, see the FAQ section in include/TnFOXDocs.h from SVN. But in short, disable the FOX compat layer, disable openssl and the graphics libs (in sconslib.py) and delete the embedded copy of sqlite3 in the src directory.

When looking on the TnFOXDocs.h I noticed that with the compatiblity layer turned off, that it says these are not compiled:
Not compiled: \li FX::FXDirBox \li FX::FXDirDialog \li FX::FXDirList \li FX::FXDirSelector \li FX::FXDLL \li FX::FXDriveBox \li FX::FXFileDialog \li FX::FXFileList \li FX::FXFileSelector \li FX::FXPrintDialog \li FX::FXReplaceDialog \li FX::FXSearchDialog is that old info, or could that be the reson I get FXFile issues? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talent is not something you learn, its something you refine.

No that's when you define BUILDING_TCOMMON. You'll never do that in all likelihood.
