Mac OS X disk image is too large (> 40MB)?

Hi, I made an optimized build on Mac OS X (--disable-debug, --enable-optimize -disable-test) and then ran make -C mozilla/xpinstall/packager The disk image was made successfully, but its size is over 40MB. It seems to be too large. Shouldn't it at most around 20MB? It looks like 'stripping' (although it's an optimized) of a sort was not done. (I saw 'stripping ...' pass by in the screen, though) What am I missing? I didn't define MOZILLA_OFFICIAL and BUILD_OFFICIAL. Is it the cause? Do I have to define them. I ran 'make -C ..../packager' after defining them, but that didn't make any difference in the disk image size created. So, if I have to, it seems that I have to define them before beginning 'make -f client.mk build'. TIA for any help, Jungshik

Any networking below the application layer (i.e. HTTP for web, SMTP for mail,) is handled by the OS. Moz doesn't (and shouldn't) care how you are connected beyond that point, so if the OS doesn't say there is a timeout, we will keep waiting. If reconnection is that bad, you should probably disable it (or disable automatic connection in general if there is not an option for it.) This should cause the OS to return errors to Moz, which will keep it from spinning endlessly. -- GPG public key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x9D5B8762
