Still on a Mac. I packaged my game for Linux, but...well, the .tar.bz2 file is 309 MB. The original folder of my game is only 13 MB.
Is this normal?
I had a problem earlier that was similar, but this time I know for SURE that I'm only trying to do Linux.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Re: tar.bz2 Linux file is HUGE?
That seems weird to me. The tar.bz2 should be only a little bigger than the mac zip file. Is there something huge in the lib directory?

Not that I know of... whole folder of my game directory is only 13 MB, so I'm fairly sure I didn't hide anything huge in there.

It's not your game directory - if something big wound up in the renpy/lib/linux-i686 directory, it would get copied into the tar.bz2.

I checked it, and that folder is only 11 MB.

Weird. Can you uncompress the file? I'd be curious as to what's taking up the space.

Re: tar.bz2 Linux file is HUGE?
Found the problem. I'd mistakenly stored some huge .zip files inside of the python/compiler folder. But why did this only happen with the linux distribution?
