How to make nginx executable smaller?

Question

Nginx

Good afternoon.
Why is the size of the executable file 843656 B when installing nginx from the repositories, but when compiling from source codes with fewer modules, the executable file is already 7548107 B?
Maybe there are keys to make to make the executable smaller?

Answer 1

Static vs dynamic linking
Alternatively, so that the study does not go to waste, connect the native nginx
deb + deb-src
repository, and build from the repository sorts
sudo apt-get source nginx

Answer 2

because maybe a command was applied to the executable file that cut out everything unnecessary, I don’t remember exactly what it’s called.
Well, it also depends on how you collected it with your hands, maybe you decided to assemble it with statics.
Well, src.rpm will give the best answer from there, you can take the spec file and see what's there and how.

Answer 3

Maybe you have compiled a debug version?

Answer 4

As you can see from the output
, you have completely different versions and compilation directives. To compare correctly, start at least with the equation of versions and directives.
By the way, add repositories to have up-to-date binaries
wiki.nginx.org/Install
Good luck :)
