Is there a way to ask RSB to either build the toolchain (ie. gcc itself) without debug symbols, or to strip them prior to install?
https://github.com/mdavidsaver/rsb/releases/ I keep a set of pre-built RTEMS pc*86 toolchains for use by CI builders, principally travis-ci.org. In looking at adding RTEMS 5.1 to this I noticed that the resulting compressed tar was considerably larger that previously. 4.9 or 4.10 for pc386 are ~100MB, while 5.1 for pc686 is weighing in at 380MB. Looking into it, most of this size seems to be in debug symbols. eg. "libexec/gcc/i386-rtems5/7.5.0/cc1plus" is (uncompressed) 166MB with debug symbols and 26MB without. Also, I installed the following packages to a clean ubuntu 18.04.5 image in order to build. This release doesn't install /usr/bin/python by default (just 'python3'). The GDB build seems to handle this just fine, but the rtems-tools build errors when it can't run 'python'. bison flex texinfo unzip git python3-dev python-dev _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@rtems.org http://lists.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/users
