Binaries size

I compile today the CVS version, and the binaries (amuled & amule) are near 35MB, is it normal?
for the compilation i use this flags:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/amule-2.1.2CVS --enable-ccache --enable-amule-daemon --enable-amulecmd --enable-webserver --disable-amule-gui --disable-cas --disable-wxcas --disable-alc --enable-alcc
regards

Yes, this is perfectly normal because they are compiled with full debuginfo by default. You can disable that or strip the binaries, but please don't post crash reports then, they are not helpful without debuginfo.

So, if i want to reduce the binaries size, i have to set the option '--disable-debug'?

Yes, either that, or execute "make install-strip" instead of "make install", or both.

I think aditional to --disable-debug, it's also neccessary the --enable-optimize switch. That has reduced the size of my binaries to about 4.5MB

The impact of --enable-optimize on the code size is very system dependent. On some operating systems and hardware platforms and with some GCC versions the binaries will be smaller, in other configurations they will be larger. --enable-optimize and --disable-debug are not really linked to each other.
