size of own hal comp > 90kb

Dear friends,

With the tool comp the easiest rt-components become very big. Never less than 80 kb.

A simple example from the docu.
compile with: comp --install constant.comp

The size of the result file constant.ko is >80kb. More complicated components in rtai/modules/linixcnc have max. 7-8kb.

What do I make wrong?

Thank You

Steffen

Hi

What version of Linuxcnc are you using?

I am using MachineKit (eq~ 2.7)

compiling for rtai I get 6239 bytes

compiling for rt-preempt I get 10460 bytes

I have seen comp produce huge files when trying to use it to build stuff in the source tree, but not stand alone components

regards

I am using 2.63.

6239 bytes... do you compile with comp?

How I make pure rtai components, respectively what I must change in source for stand alone components?

regards

I am using 2.63.

You will have to explain, there is no 2.6.3, there is a pre-release beta of 2.6

www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum...-pre1-released#46814

or perhaps you have an old version of the master when it was 2.6~pre ?

I am just using a RIP of effectively what is 2.7~pre and the command comp --compile constant.comp
(only --compile instead of --install because I don't want it on my system)

regards

thank you...

sorry, i mean 2.6.0-pre3. But I had the problem already under 2.5.4. I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" LTS from CD and update to 2.5.4 and now to 2.6.0. On different PC's, everywhere the same effect.

If you have other ideas?

Regards

hello andypugh,

I wonder if debugging is on?

This was an important tip. I have changed the following line in usr/share/linuxcnc/Makefile.modinc

from: RTFLAGS := -Os -g -I. -I/usr/realtime-2.6.32-122-rtai/include $(RTFLAGS) -DRTAPI -D_GNU_SOURCE -Drealtime
to: RTFLAGS := -Os -I. -I/usr/realtime-2.6.32-122-rtai/include $(RTFLAGS) -DRTAPI -D_GNU_SOURCE -Drealtime

Now, the output filesize with comp --compile constant.comp is 4,7kb

Why is the default parameter debugging on? If I have a wrong version?

Hello andypugh,

So you can debug your modules

I have already understood this. But why is this only, per default, with my Linuxcnc?
Other peoples do not have this problem?

For whatever reason, i am happy. Thank you!
