I believe the size difference is due to the binaries having statically, rather
than dynamically, linked. The sun4 binary release does take just under 118 meg
when unpacked; the archive files themselves are around 83 meg.
Also, the binary release includes XGRASS, as well as the main and alpha
programs.
When I compiled the main and alpha programs on sun4 architecture, the total
disk space was < 37 meg.
It took me around six hours to ftp the sun4 binary release off of the moon a
couple of days ago. I don't know if this is typical or not.
In looking over the accompanying README file for the grass sun4 binary,
it states that the archive file requires ~118 meg of space, how much space
would the completed grass installation require? I am kind of surprised by this
size requirement because it does not include the sample data and another
installation here at UDEL appears to only require ~63 meg and that is with
data.Thanks,
