Check if it has debug symbols
If so strip it

I did a "make install" on it, that strips out such symbols in general AIUI but I will run sstrip over it just to be sure. Still... would have to be 500 ishMB of symbols

I think it's because I enabled mhtml, web audio, introspection, video and a few other bits... building a 1.8.1 now with practically everything turned "off" (much like debian wheezy) as a sanity test.

But , yeah, Strip. Good thought. Thanks

I'm not familiar with WebKit, but gecko, on the other hand, if built with debug symbols, is also humongously huge, so I'm siding with knc1 on this one ;p.

(The 'install' target should only very, very rarely strip by default, and if it does, it's usually reported as a bug by a host of distribution packagers [mostly Gentoo ones, but, still, it should be left to the user to decide what to do with debug info ;D]).

Ah, I learned something.

strip --strip-unneeded -o ./libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0-strip libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.13.3

goes from 496.1mb to 18.7mb heh.
