A simple hello world application has 1Mb in by 64 bit ubunut machine. When I stript it, is has about 750kb. When I build a cross compiler for android (arm), the executable has a asize of about 10MB, stripped about 5MB.
That is huge, five times the size on my linux sysem.
Not sure what you mean by "five times the size on my linux system". What is 5 times larger than what?
He's saying that the size of the android executable (made by his cross compiler) is five time the sive of the equivalent Ubuntu executable (made by, I assume, his system's GHC).
Yes, exactly. Sorry for my bad phrasing.
The problem is not the size, but the size ratio.
Ah, I see. Yes, my executables are a similar size. I'm not sure why, I'll try to look into it.
It's just the lack of SPLIT_OBJS. Also, unregisterised accounts for a factor of 1.5 or so.
What exactly does SPLIT_OBJS do? Is there a chance to get it working for cross platform? There must be a lot of unused code in the exectuable. Is there no way to remove it? 5 Mb is rather large for an android app.
Maybe it would help to pass parameters like "-adce" or "-globaldce" to opt (from llvm). But I can not figure out how I can tell ghc to pass these parameters. Someone knows? Regards, Nathan
