Title: Bitcoin source 'make install' take over 2 giga capacity? Post by: wsxdrfv on February 17, 2018, 10:30:27 PM So I am trying customize litecoin(bitcoin) source, after revise code, I typed, 'make', 'make clean', 'sudo make install' at first time.
After that, I revised source many times, but only typed 'make'. Then it seems not work? Got stuck at generating new genesis block. So I typed additionally 'make clean', 'sudo make install' after 'make'. Now suddenly bitcoin folder's size become over 2 giga, almost take all the empty capacity (total 20giga hdd inside virtualbox), system become unstable, even all apps does not appear, can't run terminal itself. Why this happen? How can I avoid this? Thanks. Title: Re: Bitcoin source 'make install' take over 2 giga capacity?

By "bitcoin folder" do you mean the folder containing the source code or do you mean the datadir?Title: Re: Bitcoin source 'make install' take over 2 giga capacity?

Post by: ScripterRon on February 18, 2018, 12:53:45 PM Use the 'strip' command to remove debug information from the executables (bitcoind, bitcoin-cli, etc). This will significantly reduce the size of the executable files.
