Re: Excluding features from libEtPan library

I'm not sure if stripping functionality makes that much sense (unless
you're trying to fit your application on a floopy disk :-)). Nonetheless I
just tried stripping it myself and I think I can give you some hints.

As far as I know it doesn't.

I succeeded by modifying the following files:
- strip SUBLIBS and SUBDIRS from src/driver/implementation/Makefile
- do the same for src/low-level/Makefile
- have a look at src/main/libetpan.h and remove the includes for the parts
you just removed (the "sections" are commented).

Doing that I succeeded in compiling. The generated libs can be found in
src/.libs. Please note that I didn't try it with the latest release but
with some old cvs checkout I had lieing around somewhere.

I didn't try running make install as I didn't want to screw my previous
install, but ldd libetpan.so.6.1.0 yields:
        libssl.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 (0x00002b28f4e6b000)
        libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
(0x00002b28f4fb3000)
        libdb-4.4.so => /usr/lib/libdb-4.4.so (0x00002b28f5224000)
        libsasl2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libsasl2.so.2 (0x00002b28f542b000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00002b28f5543000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002b28f5658000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002b28f5897000)
        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00002b28f599b000)
        libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x00002b28f5ab1000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000555555554000)
so ssl seems to be fine.

Hope I could help.

Kind regards,
