RE: Compiling Lua for uClinux create larger file than expected

[Mike Crowe <mike@...>]

OK, folks, thanks for all your help.

I know this is a n00b question, but here goes.  I know that is logical, but
I haven't done this yet.  If I run strip on the .a files before building the
executable, the executable size drops to 46K!  That seems more in line to
me.  Is that a valid process?  

BTW, I have moved numbers to long (I think), by putting the following in my
config:
NUMBER= -DLUA_USER_H='"../etc/luser_number.h"' -DUSE_LONG

Don't forget that removing floating point can save lots of space (assuming
NIOS doesn't have a FPU).

BTW, the ".a" files are not needed for runtime!
