<p>
There are a set of configuration options to assist you in
building a small memory footprint library. These configuration
options turn off specific functionality in the Berkeley DB
library, reducing the code size. These configuration options
include:
</p>
<div class="variablelist">
<dl>
<dt>
<span class="term">
<code class="literal">--enable-smallbuild</code>
</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Equivalent to individually specifying all of
the following configuration options. In addition,
when compiling building with the GNU gcc compiler,
this option uses the <code class="literal">-Os</code>
compiler build flag instead of the default
<code class="literal">-O3</code>.
</p>
<div class="variablelist">
<dl>
<dt>
<span class="term">
<code class="literal">--disable-compression</code>
</span>
</dt>
<dd>
Builds Berkeley DB without support for
the automatic compression of key/data pairs.
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">
<code class="literal">--with-cryptography=no</code>
</span>
</dt>
<dd>
Builds Berkeley DB without support
for cryptography.
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">
<code class="literal">--disable-hash</code>
</span>
</dt>
<dd>
Builds Berkeley DB without support
for the Hash access method.
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">
<code class="literal">--disable-heap</code>
</span>
</dt>
<dd>
Builds Berkeley DB without support
for the Heap access method.
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">
<code class="literal">--disable-queue</code>
</span>
</dt>
<dd>
Builds Berkeley DB without support
for the Queue access method.
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">
<code class="literal">--disable-partition</code>
</span>
</dt>
<dd>
Builds Berkeley DB without support
for the partitioning of databases.
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">
<code class="literal">--disable-replication</code>
</span>
</dt>
<dd>
Builds Berkeley DB without support
for the database environment replication.
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">
<code class="literal">--disable-statistics</code>
</span>
</dt>
<dd>
Builds Berkeley DB without support
for the statistics interfaces.
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">
<code class="literal">--disable-verify</code>
</span>
</dt>
<dd>
Builds Berkeley DB without support
for database verification.
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">
<code class="literal">--enable-stripped_messages</code>
</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Strips message text from the error
messages issued by Berkeley DB. This
can reduce the size of the library by
roughly another 22KB.
</p>
<p>
If your library has stripped
messages, you can get an idea of what
text should be issued for a given
error message by using the <a href="../articles/mssgtxt/index.html" class="olink">Berkeley DB Message Reference Guide</a>.

<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
<code class="literal">--disable-cryptography</code> and
<code class="literal">--enable-cryptography</code> are
deprecated in the Berkeley DB 11gR2 release. Use
<code class="literal">--with-cryptography=no</code> and
<code class="literal">--with-cryptography=yes</code> instead.

The following configuration options will increase the size
of the Berkeley DB library dramatically and are only useful
when debugging applications:
</p>
<div class="variablelist">
<dl>
<dt>
<span class="term">
<a class="link" href="build_unix_conf.html#build_unix_conf.--enable-debug">--enable-debug</a>
</span>
</dt>
<dd>
Build Berkeley DB with symbols for
debugging.
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">
<a class="link" href="build_unix_conf.html#build_unix_conf.--enable-debug_rop">--enable-debug_rop</a>
</span>
</dt>
<dd>
Build Berkeley DB with read-operation
logging.
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">
<a class="link" href="build_unix_conf.html#build_unix_conf.--enable-debug_wop">--enable-debug_wop</a>
</span>
</dt>
<dd>
Build Berkeley DB with write-operation
logging.
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">
<a class="link" href="build_unix_conf.html#build_unix_conf.--enable-diagnostic">--enable-diagnostic</a>
</span>
</dt>
<dd>
Build Berkeley DB with run-time debugging
checks.
</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p>
In addition, static libraries are usually smaller than
shared libraries. By default Berkeley DB will build both
shared and static libraries. To build only a static library,
configure Berkeley DB with the <a class="xref" href="build_unix_conf.html" title="Configuring Berkeley DB">Configuring Berkeley DB</a> option.
</p>
<p>
The size of the Berkeley DB library varies depending on the
compiler, machine architecture, and configuration options. As
an estimate, production Berkeley DB libraries built with GNU
gcc version 4.X compilers have footprints in the range of
600KB to 1.4MB on 32-bit x86 architectures, and in the range
of 700KB to 1.6MB on 64-bit x86 architectures.
</p>
<p>
For assistance in further reducing the size of the Berkeley
DB library, or in building small memory footprint libraries on
other systems, please contact Berkeley DB support.
