Half a year ago I begun to develop a new driver for the DDM "AOK-Skywalker". The learning curve was rather steep, but I manged to produce a working INDI-driver for this mount and I'm quite a bit proud of it.
Latterly, when I cleared up some code, I noticed that the file produced with QT-Creator is 5 to 6 times bigger that the one compiled by Jasem. I suppose this has to do with the debug informations, that are build in.
Now what are the required settings to catch up with the size of the file in the repo?
The size of the object file can be reduced with "strip". It does what it says: Discarding additional information (like symbols) from the object file (see
here
).
Until now I couldn't manage QT Creator to "cmake" an "install/strip", because this requires root privileges.
