[onschedule]

ubuntu 18.04
compile crypto currency

compile process:
cd xxxxcoin
./autogen.sh
./configure
./make

got xxxxcoind in /xxxxcoin/src, but the size over 140M

then compile :
sudo apt-get install g++-mingw-w64-i686
cd xxxxcoin
cd depends
make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 -j4
cd ..
CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32/share/config.site ./configure --prefix=/
make
got xxxxcoin-qt in src/qt ,but the size over 140M

need help !!

That is not abnormal. The reason the binary is so large is because it contains debugging symbols. It is not stripped. If you do

Code:

strip src/qt/xxxcoin-qt

the binary will become much smaller. That removes all of the debugging symbols.

What is your definition of "normal size"? I think it's usual if you build from scratch and got "bigger" files compared to non-debugging files, just like achow said.

And what you are doing is not the normal process for releases. You are doing the normal process for development where you want to have debugging symbols in order to debug the software. The release process uses gitian which runs a build script. That build script does use strip and does many other things that are specific to releases.
