When I use cmake to build libopencv_java3.so in release mode with default configuration I got a library of 17MB
I can reduce that to 10MB by adding some flags and disabling some modules.
cmake -DBUILD_opencv_videostab=OFF \
-DBUILD_ANDROID_EXAMPLES=OFF \
-DBUILD_opencv_stitching=OFF \
-DBUILD_opencv_tracking=OFF \
-DBUILD_opencv_datasets=OFF \
-DBUILD_opencv_nonfree=OFF \
-DBUILD_opencv_contrib=OFF \
-DBUILD_opencv_legacy=OFF \
-DBUILD_opencv_world=OFF \
-DBUILD_opencv_photo=OFF \
-DBUILD_opencv_apps=OFF \
-DBUILD_opencv_ts=OFF \
-DBUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF \
-DBUILD_SAMPLES=OFF \
-DWITH_CUDA=OFF \
...
-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE="-Os -DNDEBUG -fvisibility=hidden -ffunction-sections -fstack-protector-all" \
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE="-Os -DNDEBUG -fvisibility=hidden -ffunction-sections -fstack-protector-all - fvisibility-inlines-hidden" \
-DBUILD_WITH_DEBUG_INFO=OFF \
...
But the distributed library available in opencv-3.2.0-android-sdk.zip is 8.6MB large !
How can I get a library of that size ?
