ARM linker generates 6gb output file

[yanicks90]

Hello all

I have cross compiled for ARM a few times, but today I think I finally managed to properly enable proprietary codecs. However I was facing the following error at the end:

Code: Select all

[62166/62167] SOLINK ./libcef.so

ld.lld: error: output file too large: 6148544136 bytes


Besides the error it also seems strange that the file is 6.1gb, it used to be a lot smaller. Has this happened to anyone before?

What CEF version and GN_DEFINES? Are you creating a Debug or Release build?

[yanicks90]

Oh right, here is the information:
Build via: ninja -C out/Release_GN_arm cefsimple chrome_sandbox
GN_DEFINES="use_sysroot=true is_official_build=true proprietary_codecs=true ffmpeg_branding=Chrome arm_float_abi=hard"

Versions:
~/cef_build/data/chromium/src$ git rev-parse HEAD -> c4c3a909aabdbb44b56a2699cc02a71200ed2fcd
~/cef_build/data/chromium/src/cef$ git rev-parse HEAD -> 4f07cba0112d26542d157ab0c0180ee2f022ea34

I manually edited src/build/features.gni to read:

Code: Select all

proprietary_codecs = true

because the build with just the GN_DEFINES still didnt work with mp4 files.

Try adding symbol_level=1 to your GN defines. The supported values are documented here: https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/bu ... m&g=0&l=39
