14261 2003-01-20 17:16 0000 bind-tools binaries are huge, dynamic linking helps 2004-01-05 20:51:43 0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Gentoo Linux Applications 1.4_rc2 All Linux RESOLVED INVALID P2 normal Future 1 lcars@gentoo.org naz@gentoo.org h3y@esaurito.net lcars@gentoo.org 2003-01-20 17:16:09 0000 bind-tools binaries such as dig, nsloolup and host are really huge (approzimately 1MB!) this is a bind fault not really a gentoo one, however I find it that building libdns, libisc, libisccc, libisccfg and liblwres as dynamic libraries and link those apps against them can help saving space (as example my dig is 61k). This can be accomplished when compiling bind tree with the following example command: cd ./lib/dns ; ld -shared -s -o libdns.so -whole_archive libdns.a ; cp libdns.so /usr/lib/bind along with modifing the Makefile with something like -L/usr/lib/bind -ldns and so on for all the other libraries. Right now I don't have the exact procedure (if you think that this is a good idea I can write one), this is only a raw example. What do you think? Bye woodchip@gentoo.org 2003-02-23 14:49:16 0000 you wanna fix this Nazzy? naz@gentoo.org 2003-02-24 23:32:20 0000 Ok, I will see what can be done naz@gentoo.org 2003-03-07 01:19:00 0000 Created an attachment (id=9060) bind-tools fix Updated ebuild for bind-tools lcars@gentoo.org 2003-04-07 03:07:01 0000 Ok, actually it doesn't do exactly the same but I've just discovered that dynamic linking can be enabled with '--with-libtool' (thanks to isc support). 'dig' size for example drop to 160K and I suppose that this is a much cleaner method than the one I've proposed ;) bye robbat2@gentoo.org 2004-01-05 20:51:43 0000 they seem to be very small atm. 60-70K each for me. closing this old bug now. 9060 2003-03-07 01:19 0000 bind-tools fix bind-tools-9.2.2_rc1-r1.ebuild text/plain IyBDb3B5cmlnaHQgMTk5OS0yMDAzIEdlbnRvbyBUZWNobm9sb2dpZXMsIEluYy4KIyBEaXN0cmli dXRlZCB1bmRlciB0aGUgdGVybXMgb2YgdGhlIEdOVSBHZW5lcmFsIFB1YmxpYyBMaWNlbnNlIHYy CiMgJEhlYWRlcjogL2hvbWUvY3Zzcm9vdC9nZW50b28teDg2L25ldC1kbnMvYmluZC10b29scy9i aW5kLXRvb2xzLTkuMi4yX3JjMS5lYnVpbGQsdiAxLjYgMjAwMy8wMi8xMyAxMzo1Njo0NSB2YXBp ZXIgRXhwICQKCk1ZX1A9JHtQLy8tdG9vbHN9Ck1ZX1A9JHtNWV9QL199ClM9JHtXT1JLRElSfS8k e01ZX1B9CkRFU0NSSVBUSU9OPSJiaW5kIHRvb2xzOiBkaWcsIG5zbG9va3VwLCBhbmQgaG9zdCIK U1JDX1VSST0iZnRwOi8vZnRwLmlzYy5vcmcvaXNjL2JpbmQ5LyR7UFYvX30vJHtNWV9QfS50YXIu Z3oiCkhPTUVQQUdFPSJodHRwOi8vd3d3LmlzYy5vcmcvcHJvZHVjdHMvQklORC9iaW5kOS1iZXRh Lmh0bWwiCgpLRVlXT1JEUz0ieDg2IHBwYyBhbHBoYSIKTElDRU5TRT0iYXMtaXMiClNMT1Q9IjAi CgpERVBFTkQ9InZpcnR1YWwvZ2xpYmMiCiAKc3JjX2NvbXBpbGUoKSB7CgllY29uZiB8fCBkaWUg ImNvbmZpZ3VyZSBmYWlsZWQiCgoJY2QgJHtTfS9saWIvaXNjCgltYWtlICYmIGxkIC1zaGFyZWQg LXMgLW8gbGliaXNjLnNvIC13aG9sZS1hcmNoaXZlIGxpYmlzYy5hIFwKCXx8IGRpZSAibWFrZSBm YWlsZWQgaW4gL2xpYi9pc2MiCgljcCBsaWJpc2Muc28gLi4vLi4vYmluL2RpZy8gfHwgZGllCgkK CWNkICR7U30vbGliL2RucwoJbWFrZSAmJiBsZCAtc2hhcmVkIC1zIC1vIGxpYmRucy5zbyAtd2hv bGUtYXJjaGl2ZSBsaWJkbnMuYSBcCgl8fCBkaWUgIm1ha2UgZmFpbGVkIGluIC9saWIvZG5zIgoJ Y3AgbGliZG5zLnNvIC4uLy4uL2Jpbi9kaWcvIHx8IGRpZQoKCWNkICR7U30vYmluL2RpZwoJY3Ag TWFrZWZpbGUgTWFrZWZpbGUub3JnCglzZWQgLWUgJ3M6Li4vLi4vbGliL2Rucy9saWJkbnMuYTps aWJkbnMuc286JyBcCgkJLWUgJ3M6Li4vLi4vbGliL2lzYy9saWJpc2MuYTpsaWJpc2Muc286JyBc CgkJTWFrZWZpbGUub3JnID4gTWFrZWZpbGUgfHwgZGllCgltYWtlIHx8IGRpZSAibWFrZSBmYWls ZWQgaW4gL2Jpbi9kaWciCn0KIApzcmNfaW5zdGFsbCgpIHsKCWNkICR7U30vbGliL2RucwoJZG9s aWIgbGliZG5zLnNvCgoJY2QgJHtTfS9saWIvaXNjCglkb2xpYiBsaWJpc2Muc28KCQoJY2QgJHtT fS9iaW4vZGlnCglkb2JpbiBkaWcgaG9zdCBuc2xvb2t1cAoJZG9tYW4gZGlnLjEgaG9zdC4xCgoJ ZG9tYW4gJHtGSUxFU0RJUn0vbnNsb29rdXAuOAoKCWNkICR7U30KCWRvZG9jICBSRUFETUUgQ0hB TkdFUyBGQVEgQ09QWVJJR0hUCn0K
