Hey!
I'd like to compile all of DVD-1 myself but using `-Oz` to optimize
for binary size rather than speed. How do I do that? Where do I
start? I could only find infos on how to build DVD-1 yourself using
existing binary packages...
How else can you do it? A working compiler is binary code, as are its
auxiliary packages. To compile anything you must use pre-compiled
binaries.
It's a bootstrap job. You start by using a running system to compile a
That's not how I read it.
Off the top of my head I don't know how to change the compile options,
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS perhaps?
But the OP should start with dpkg-buildpackage to rebuild individual
oackages.
Once everything is rebuilt, assemble the DVD as normal
There are some possible complications, I'd be inclined to build each
package in a container and only install the build deps fir that package
- some configure scripts might otherwise detect things they shouldn't
which might then mess with install depends.
Hope the op has a lot of computing resources...
