That will certainly change things. Just like if you were to build two separate Linux environments -- one Debian, one RHEL -- and then look at the size of the "bash" binary. The same bash version would likely have radically different file sizes based upon the same criteria: selected bug fixes (which may or may not affect the official version number), exact compiler/version used, optimization options, linker, and whether debugging symbols had been left in/removed, etc. -chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
