Re: [webkit-dev] Reducing the size of libQtWebKit.so

Hello Saravanan,

i have successfully compiled and run webkit using Qtopia core on ARM platform. But the the size of the webkit library --libQtWebKit.so.4.3.3 is very large(of 20 MB). Can anyone say me how to reduce the size of this library?

I only compiled the GTK, not the Qt version for ARM, but got it down to around 9,9MB. Did you try removing all symbols by either setting -g0 as a compile option or using the "strip" command line tool? You might also try setting -Os (optimize for size) as a compile option by prefixing CXXFLAGS=-Os to calling ./configure. If all else fails you might also disable some WebKit features to further reduce size. HTH & regards, Dominik
