The size of software builds can often be a concern for developers, particularly in embedded systems or other resource-constrained environments. Recently, a change was made to the wolfSSL library that has resulted in smaller build sizes when used with the popular cURL library.
When building wolfSSL, this recent change removes the need for using
–enable-opensslextra
instead only requires
–enable-opensslextra=x509small CPPFLAGS=-DHAVE_CURL
This compiles out a lot of compatibility layer functionality (used for ripping out and replacing OpenSSL) that is not needed by cURL. This change can be especially beneficial in resource-constrained environments where smaller builds are crucial. Find more information about using wolfSSL with cURL or about the even smaller tiny-curl.
