Is there a way to reduce oxrocksdb-sys debug build size?

[hoijui]

Debug builds of oxrocksdb-sys (1.5GB) and liboxrocksdb_sys (760MB) are HUGE!
a few build iterations/versions, and my small projects target/ dir grows to 20GB.
It also takes long to compile.

Any remedy for that?

Yes, it's very painful. Multiple ways to mitigate that:

1. The most efficient: disable RocksDB if you don't need it. It is possible in the 0.4 alpha versions by disabling the "rocksdb" cargo feature:

oxigraph = { version = "0.4.0-alpha.7", default-features = false }

2. Edit cargo profiles to avoid generating debug information

3. To mitigate slow builds. Use a Rust/C/C++ cache system like sccache. I use it on my laptop and it made the rebuilds way faster if all Rust, C and C++ caching are enabled.
