[Litecoin] How to make precompiled binary file from source code?

[zenzen]

Hello,
I want to create precompiled litecoind daemon binary executable for linux from Litecoin source code, I compile successfully but the files size too big, ex: my litecoind file's size is 97Mb, the litecoind which downloaded from litecoin.org is 8.9Mb.
Everyone has any idea?
Thanks.

/usr/bin/strip litecoind

oh, there is some litecoin-cli perhaps, which is needed to. Communicates with the deamon process. Whole setup could be accessable by commandline, or RPC API

And nooo, stripping a binary does not mean it's doing a sexy dance for you afterwards. Those data are left inside the binary for debugging purposes.
And I should stop watchin' pron and call it the day instead, going to bed.

I search for litecoind file in usr directory, but it was found only one file in usr/local/bin/litecoind (97Mb).
I followed building process with this guide https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md:

Code:

./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install # optional

The large litecoind within /usr/local/bin is just the build including the debugging symbols as mentioned by the other user and it is harmless to use it as is.
If you want it to be rightsized then just run strip on it or adapt the makefile.unix and disable the debugging symbols.
