- panzi 3y agoRight, so its still just about 9 MB: guile=$(readlink -f $(which guile)) sizes=$({ echo $guile; ldd $guile|grep /|sed 's+^[^/]*\(/[^ ]*\).*+\1+'; }|xargs -n 1 readlink -f|xargs du -ab|cut -f 1) sumsize=0 for size in $sizes; do sumsize=$((sumsize+size)); done echo $sumsize Gives 9041632 here.
- Bost 3y agoThanks for the snippet. Now I have a recipe how to calculate the size of a binary file, plus the shared objects, i.e. the so-file(s), it requires directly. Now I just need to extend your snippet so that it works recursively. A shared object can require other shared objects.
