Hello,
Once in a while we get these messages from users who don't have the disk
space to compile lyx with debug info. I think we should take up Nicolas'
suggestion and add a ./configure flag, --without-debug-info which would
remove the '-g' flag from the CXXFLAGS setting. We can also add
--with-debug-info for symmtery, and set the default to having -g.
I'm willing to do this myself if someone can explain the conventions of
the ./configure script.
Lior.

Subject: lyx1.1.6 too big !
Hi !
I use lyx both at work (recent computer) and at home (old one). I tried
to compile lyx 1.1.6 at home but I couldn't build "src/lyx" because it
was too big (compiling lyx took all the 170Mo I had left on my
computer).
I had to remove lots of thinks (thank's dpkg for doing things so
neatly). Finally, I "installed-strip" and it works all right.
However, I don't want to do this again for 1.1.6fix1 (remove the
packages, compile, reinstall), and I'm sure you understand why.
Is there any option I could give "./configure" or "make" to build a
smaller file at home ?
Thanks in advance,
Nicolas.
PS : The strip version takes only 8Mo, vs 40Mo for the regular one. What
makes this difference ? Could you tell me more ?
