compiling dash (linux)

[000]

Compiling dash-0.12.1.3. Seems easier than ever (a huge improvement over past versions), but there is one small catch - the binaries I am getting are absolutely massive. For example, dash-qt is ~170MB, versus ~35 MB in dashcore-0.12.1.3-linux64.tar.gz. What am I doing wrong?

Nothing wrong, by default it includes debugging symbols. Could be useful if the size isn't an issue but if you need it smaller you can strip them out:
