[python-ogre] Python-ogre questions

[Aleh Arol]

Hi. I thought I will found answers by searching the ML and forum but
quick search didn't get results. So:

1) _ogre.so I'm having is about 80 mb (1.7RC1). The question is how I
can reduce its size? I found some mentions about gcc visibility flag but
it's not completely clear how I can use it (there are some notes about
enabling/disabling this flag in different places so I'm unsure what
exactly to do).

2) I want to be able to trace python- ogre calls into ogre itself. And I
know I need debug versions of python and ogre at least. Now I have
release versions of everything and I'd like to have both at once and to
be able to switch between them. So the question: what steps I need to
repeat in order to get a debug version while I already have release(I
guess I don't need generating code again)? Do I need to recompile py++
generated code with -g and without O's as well and have 2 separate
python packages for debug and release?

And thank you all for python-ogre:).

I dont think there is any way to reduce the size by a reasonable amount.
python-ogre is huge load of C++-code, which easily generates so big files.
You could try "strip" on the files.

Yes, that is exactly the way I would propose. First get Ogre in a debug
compiled fashion, then recompile python-ogre with debug.
