From the docs: 'Programs and libraries compressed by UPX are completely self-contained and run exactly as before, with no runtime or memory penalty for most of the supported formats.' (NOTE: cygwin/win32 is supported) I have compressed my complete /bin directory and save about 40% space now! (That are now 20MB now and were 36MB before, e.g gdb.exe has now 679kb and it still works as before, how much kb is yours?) It installs itself in '/usr/bin', '/usr/man/man1' & '/usr/doc/upx' if you unpack it from '/' with 'tar xvjf upx-1.20.tar.bz2' Read the README to build it for yourself, or fetch a copy of the binary at: http://familiehaase.de/cygwin.html See you there:-) gph README: ======= *upx-1.20* ---------- - what is it? - UPX is an advanced executable file compressor. - homepage: http://wildsau.idv.uni-linz.ac.at/mfx/upx.html - system - Compiled on: CYGWIN_NT-5.0 1.3.2(0.39/3/2) 2001-05-20 23:28 i686 unknown - preliminaries for *building* - ucl-0.92 source/binary - ucl cygwin-binary available at ftp.uni-erlangen.de - in /pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Haase_Gerrit/1.1 - get the upx source package - upx-1.20-src.tar.gz it can be found - at the homepage (see above) - or at http://wildsau.idv.uni-linz.ac.at - in /mfx/download/upx/ - as upx-1.20-src.tar.gz - unpack the source (tar zxvf upx-x.xx-src.tar.gz) - $ cd upx-x.xx - $ cd src - set the environment variable UCLDIR to point to your UCL installation, e.g. fetch my binary (see above) & $ export UCLDIR=/usr/local - make - $ make target=cygwin - install binary - $ cp upx.exe upx-uncompressed.exe - $ ./upx-uncompressed.exe -9 upx.exe - $ install upx.exe /usr/bin - install docs - cd .. - cd doc - make - install upx.1 /usr/man/man1 - mkdir /usr/doc/upx-1.20 - install upx.html /usr/doc/upx-1.07 - notes - builds OOTB - it is easier to fetch the cygwin binary:-) - (binaries) package availability - on http://familiehaase.de - in /cywgin/compression/upx-1.07 - as upx-1.20.tar.bz2 - (source) package availability - on http://familiehaase.de - in /cywgin/compression/upx-1.07 - as upx-1.20-src.tar.gz - or at the upx homepage - contributed by - gerrit AT familiehaase DOT de (Gerrit Peter Haase) 2001-07-10 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
