Hi Eric and thanks for your fast reply!
I have a 64-Built but i copied the wrong trial and error ./configure
snippet (i have the messy habbit documenting all my trials ;d
./configure CFLAGS="-Os" --prefix=/opt/wine --disable-win16 --without-x
--disable-tests --without-freetype --without-gstreamer --without-openal
--without-gettext --without-ldap --without-vkd3d --without-netapi
--without-oss --without-opencl --without-pulse --without-usb
--without-pcap --without-vulkan --without-sane --without-sdl
--without-cups --without-krb5 --without-gphoto --without-capi
--without-fontconfig --without-udev --without-dbus --without-mingw
--without-gnutls --without-opengl --enable-win64
make -j 4 && make install
This is the correct one, so this works for me
As you can see, i allready used the the --disable-mode switch for
example: --disable-tests OR --disable_win16
But still, it results in this 700 MByte Monster in /opt/wine
By the way, i had a hard time finding all the configure switches and i
wasn't abel to find more.
Is there a Document or Wiki which documents all possible make swithces?
Are there anymore then
--disable-win16
--disable-tests
?
If i cannot find any more ways to shrink this beast down to a resonble
size, i will check dependencies and delete unused DLL's but this is
something i dont want to do, bc i fear stuff will
break in unpredicable ways.
Again, thanks for your help!
Kind regards from Germany,
Dravion
