Re: [openvrml-develop] stripping libopenvrml.a

[Stefan R. <ste...@gm...>]

Hello,

BM> Stripping a static library is a little unusual; and you might have to
BM> play with some of the options to strip to see what works. Read "man
BM> strip". You definitely don't want to strip *everything*; I'd start with
BM> --strip-unneeded.
I forgot to mention that I already tried all the options strip offers.
both --strip-unneeded and --discard-all give me the error:
BFD: BFD 2.15.91 20040904 internal error, aborting at ../../src/bfd/coffcode.h l
ine 852 in handle_COMDAT

BFD: Please report this bug.

--discard-locals and --strip-debug do not reduce the size nameable.
The problem with the size of libopenvrml.a I have is that the linking
process for my app takes about 10 minutes, and as I'm quite new to
openVRML, I have to recompile very often to try different things. So
do I have any other chances to speed up linking instead of striping
the library?
