Well, binaries may well have different sizes on different platforms,
aslo when statically linkd vs dynamically linked etc.
In this case, you should not worry.

On Solaris, I'm finding that my package, only on Solaris, is slightly above
5MB. Is there a difference in install sizes for Solaris? I don't have a Solaris
machine, so it's difficult to know what the size differences are and why.

"checking installed package size ... NOTE
installed size is 5.2Mb
sub-directories of 1Mb or more:
doc 3.1Mb
extdata 1.8Mb"
If so, why might that be?
I've looked at R solaris documentation
(https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#Solaris), but it
says nothing other than suggesting that it will require more stack space
(memory) to build the package... but this doesn't say anything about disk space
or installation directory cleanup differences.
"At least when compiling with Oracle compilers, Solaris uses far more stack space
than other platforms." Perhaps there are additional files that are generated for
Solaris that are not generated for other platforms?
Thanks,
