Until then, if your binary is too fat, remember: It's not the codec's fault. You just compiled the reference implementation for the reference machine. Trim the flags, target your silicon, and libvpx will slim down.
--target=armv7-linux-gcc --disable-neon --disable-avx2 Do not use --enable-shared if you only need one binary. Use --enable-static and let the linker garbage-collect unused functions ( -ffunction-sections -Wl,--gc-sections ). libvpx has a little-known flag: bloat libvpx
If you are just decoding video (not encoding), consider dav1d for AV1 or ffmpeg with --enable-libvpx --disable-everything . But that is a story for another day. Until then, if your binary is too fat,
But in recent years, a quiet grumble has emerged from embedded systems engineers, Linux distribution maintainers, and build-from-source enthusiasts. That grumble has a name: What is "Bloat libvpx"? To the uninitiated, "bloat" might sound like an insult. In this context, it’s a technical observation. "Bloat libvpx" refers to the phenomenon where the standard compilation of the library produces a binary that is significantly larger, slower to compile, or more resource-hungry than necessary for a given use case. But that is a story for another day
We aren't talking about malware. We are talking about feature creep .
