[Swfdec] Compiling swfdec

[Peter Carlson]

Benjamin,

Perhaps I don't understand autoconf (in fact I must admit I know nothing of
it coming from years and years of M$ Visual Studio).  However here is what I
did:
./configure "CFLAGS=-DSWFDEC_DISABLE_DEBUG -DG_DISABLE_CHECKS
-DG_DISABLE_ASSERT -DG_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS -O3" (Ohh not zero)
make
make install
ls -l /usr/local/lib/libswf*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1794294 2009-01-05 08:43
/usr/local/lib/libswfdec-0.9.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root    1155 2009-01-05 08:43
/usr/local/lib/libswfdec-0.9.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      22 2009-01-05 08:43
/usr/local/lib/libswfdec-0.9.so -> libswfdec-0.9.so.2.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      22 2009-01-05 08:43
/usr/local/lib/libswfdec-0.9.so.2 -> libswfdec-0.9.so.2.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1207587 2009-01-05 08:43

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root    1339 2009-01-05 08:43
/usr/local/lib/libswfdec-gtk-0.9.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      26 2009-01-05 08:43
/usr/local/lib/libswfdec-gtk-0.9.so -> libswfdec-gtk-0.9.so.2.0.0

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   57623 2009-01-05 08:43
/usr/local/lib/libswfdec-gtk-0.9.so.2.0.0

running make / make install without the flags produces this:

Am I doing something wrong to not get the same 800k size as you?
