The CRAN checks for rgl show that it has a huge libs directory. E.g.
https://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-release-macos-arm64/rgl-00check.html
contains this:
checking installed package size ... NOTE
installed size is 25.6Mb
sub-directories of 1Mb or more:
doc 1.0Mb
fonts 1.5Mb
libs 20.0Mb
I don't have an M1 mac, but I used https://mac.r-project.org/macbuilder
to build, and found that the rgl.so file that gets installed is a
reasonable size (bigger than on my Intel Mac, but only 2.7M), but
there's also a subdir rgl.so.dSYM which is really large. It contains a
file rgl.so.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/rgl.so which is about 17M.
I think that is debugging symbol information. Is it necessary to
install it on the M1 Mac? If not, is there something in rgl's
configuration that I should change, or is it part of the system
configuration on CRAN and macbuilder?
