Megaco stack

[Guillermo Fernandez Castellanos]

Hi,

Accept my appologies if this message has been already sended to the list...

I am starting to look at Erlang, as I need a Megaco stack for my job and 
Erlang's one seems to be promising. The problem is, my boss ask me to 
make it work in only a few Mb of disk space, and that's largelly under 
the 80 Mb of my Linux installation... I am using the latest Erlang 
distribution. Is that possible? Or is an impossible dream? What would 
(rough estimation, of course) be the minimal disk space requirements?

I would apreciate any hint, link or help in that direction.

I had a look to the Erlan FAQ, and finded the following references:

5.5 How do I write an Erlang system that fits on a floppy?
http://www.sics.se/~joe/sae.html
Unfortunatelly this distribution does not give a lot of details about 
the libraries that it includes, and Megaco does not seem to be one of them.

8.9. Is Erlang small enough for embedded systems?
"""It is reasonably straightforward to fit Erlang itself into 2Mbyte of 
persistant storage"""
""" This can be automated by editing otp.mk and adding +compressed 
+no_debug_info to the erlang compiler options and then rebuilding all 
the libraries."""
unfortunatelly I did not find it that straightforward nor was able to 
find the opt.mk file...

After a
$ grep -r '\-include' * |  awk 'FS="\"" {print $2}' | sort | uniq -u

i found that the dependencies seemed to rely little on the OTP library. 
I then thought about simply stripping (deleting...) the non used OTP 
modules (applications) from the compiled Erlang distribution. But 
something tells me it's not a good idea...

Thanks,
