Size of prebuilt Chromium framework vs. build from source

Postby sjames1958 » Tue Apr 13, 2021 8:40 am

When I build CEF on macOS using the instructions from the wiki the size of
Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Chromium Embedded Framework is 338M
While the one with the cef_binary distribution is only 153M
What flags / settings do I need to make these the same.
I made sure I am comparing release to release build.

ls -lh build/chromium/src/cef/binary_distrib/cef_binary_89.0.18+gb36241d+chromium-89.0.4389.114_macosx64/Release/Chromium\ Embedded\ Framework.framework/Chromium\ Embedded\ Framework

I built using the following and the Framework file is still 354M
python ./automate-git.py --download-dir=. --minimal-distrib --client-distrib --no-debug-build --x64-build --branch=4389
