MAME compiles much larger than official build with new toolchain

I compiled 0.161 through the new toolchain and it comes out to 125 MB, much larger than previous MAMEs. Plus, the official binary comes out to about 92 MB.

Is there a makefile setting I'm missing that makes it come out so large? I'm looking at SUBTARGET = Tiny and wondering if that is what I'm missing.

Thanks.

Thanks, but strip_symbols=1 results in the same bloated 125MB Mame64.

Dunno.

no, i just tested it today, on both MAME and MESS with these commands:

make -j5 PTR64=1 TOOLS=1 STRIP_SYMBOLS=1
and
make -j5 TARGET=mess PTR64=1 TOOLS=1 STRIP_SYMBOLS=1

and got smaller executables (93mb and 49mb) as described by Robbbert.

Ah, curse UNIX. LOL. That worked, but the tools are still large and unstripped. Any way to strip the tools?

Thanks for all your help.

Turns out the best solution for me was two steps.


Code:

make -j5 TOOLS=1
strip -s *.*



That trimmed the entire set after.
