Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 505 by jach...@gmail.com: Strip the executable file created during recompilation http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=505 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. recompile xmonad I think it's a good idea to strip the executable file generated during recompilation to make it even more lightweight. My xmonad version is 0.10 I believe the following code is pretty self-explanatory: $ cd $ xmonad --recompile $ ls --size .xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux 2552 .xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux $ file .xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux .xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=0xfec31cee9b5541ce3310171ffa299d0282a5cfb8, not stripped $ strip .xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux $ ls --size .xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux 1648 .xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux $ file .xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux .xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=0xfec31cee9b5541ce3310171ffa299d0282a5cfb8, stripped
